FAQ's

How Long Should A Stuffed Chicken Breast Bake?

It should bake for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked through. Although this could vary depending on the thickness of your chicken breasts.

Should I Bake The Chicken Covered Or Uncovered?

In this recipe it's fine to bake it uncovered as we want the chicken to crisp and brown a little.

Can I Freeze Stuffed Chicken?

Yes. Allow the chicken to cool completely first then portion into individual containers. Simply reheat in the microwave or in your oven.

How Many Calories Are In This Cajun Stuffed Chicken?

There are 230 calories per chicken served.

What To Serve With Cajun Stuffed Chicken?

• Rice or couscous. Keep it simple and serve with a little plain wholegrain rice or couscous.

• Vegetables. I serve my baked stuffed chicken with green beans and sweetcorn.
• A simple green side salad of lettuce, spring onions and cucumber.
