Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 8 ounces each)
  2. 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  3. 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  4. Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  5. 1 3-ounce link andouille sausage, thinly sliced on an angle
  6. 1/2 small green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  7. 1/4 small onion, thinly sliced
  8. Chopped fresh parsley, for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and line a baking sheet with foil. Make 5 crosswise slits in the top of each chicken breast with a paring knife, cutting about three-quarters of the way through. Rub the chicken all over with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, then rub with the Cajun seasoning, making sure to season inside the slits; season lightly with salt and pepper. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
  2. Toss the sausage, bell pepper and onion with the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Stuff the mixture into the slits on each chicken breast. Roast the chicken until it is just cooked through, about 15 minutes. Top with parsley.
