Steps:
- Use a meat mallet to pound out the chicken breasts until only 1/4" thick.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the cheese, spinach, salt and pepper.
- In a separate, small bowl stir together the Cajun seasoning and breadcrumbs until evenly combined.
- Spoon an even amount of the cheese/spinach mixture out onto the underside of each chicken breast. Starting from the smallest end first, tightly roll each chicken breast up and use the toothpicks to keep it closed at the seams.the seams with several toothpicks. Use as many toothpicks as necessary to ensure a good seal so none of the filling is lost as it cooks. Remember the number used though, so you pull out the same amount before serving. Nobody wants to bite into a lost toothpick!
- Brush each chicken breast with extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning mixture evenly over all the rolled chicken, patting down gently to ensure the coating sticks.
- Lightly grease a baking sheet or dish with non stick cooking spray, and place the chicken seam-side up onto it.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, at 350 degrees, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Let the chicken 'rest' for 5 minutes before removing the toothpicks. Serve the stuffed chicken whole or slice it into medallions.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Flatten the chicken to 1/4-inch thickness. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. In a medium bowl, combine the pepper jack cheese, spinach, salt and pepper. Combine the Cajun seasoning and breadcrumbs together in a small bowl. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the spinach mixture onto each chicken breast. Roll each chicken breast tightly and fasten the seams with several toothpicks. This part requires a tiny bit of skill and I typically use about 8 toothpicks in each roll to ensure none of the filling seeps out. Be sure to count how many total toothpicks were used! Brush each chicken breast with the olive oil. Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning mixture evenly over all. Make sure you get underneath, too. Sprinkle any remaining spinach and cheese on top of chicken (optional). Place the chicken seam-side up onto a tin foil-lined baking sheet (for easy cleanup). Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Remove the toothpicks before serving. Count to make sure you have removed every last toothpick. Serve whole or slice into medallions. *If you have little ones eating this or your spice tolerance is fairly low, halve the Cajun seasoning and double the breadcrumbs. Also, try substituting some of your favorite vegetables in place of the spinach. Some of my favorites include broccoli (parboiled before stuffing in the chicken) and crunchy chopped celery.
