TOTAL TIME
1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2
Combine chicken breasts, olive oil, Cajun seasoning, dried oregano, and garlic powder in a large bowl, coating the chicken evenly. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
3
While chicken is marinating, chop green, red, and yellow bell peppers, as well as the white onion.
4
Create 5-6 evenly spaced horizontal slits in each chicken breast, about 3/4 of the way through, taking care not to cut all the way.
5
Stuff each slit with bell peppers, onions, and a slice of provolone cheese, distributing the ingredients evenly among the chicken breasts.
6
Place the stuffed chicken breasts onto a greased baking sheet.
7
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until fully cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
8
Remove the chicken from the oven, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve.
