¼ onion, finely chopped
60g cheddar cheese, grated
4 tsp Cajun spice
60g butter
- Place the chicken fillets between two sheets of cling film. Use a meat tenderiser or a rolling pin to pound the chicken into an even thickness of about ½cm.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan over a medium-high heat. Cook the chorizo for 2-3 minutes until it’s released its oils, then add the peppers and onions and cook for 3-4 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 200˚C/180˚C fan/gas mark 6. Lightly grease the bottom of a baking dish with oil.
- Place half a tablespoon of cheese in the centre of each chicken fillet and spoon one quarter of the chorizo and vegetable mixture on top. Add another half tablespoon of cheese.
- Carefully roll up the chicken so that the stuffing is completely inside, securing with toothpicks. Place in the prepared baking dish.
- Season the chicken with the Cajun seasoning. Place a knob of butter on top of each fillet.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the chicken is completely cooked throughout.
