Meat Lovers Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Per Person:
1 large Chicken Breast, thawed, butterfly filleted
3 large shrimp: I use the pre-cooked frozen type. Do NOT thaw.
2-3 strips bacon
2 oz sausage, in slices
1 oz Irish cheddar cheese, sliced thin
1 tsp fresh garlic: I like a couple of cloves of fresh roasted garlic, but thin slices of raw garlic is fine.
1/2 tsp Cajun seasoning
salt & pepper

Fillet the chicken breast. Season inside and out with salt & pepper. Layer cheese shrimp, bacon & sausage on one side. Season the opposite side with Cajun seasoning and garlic.

Close the chicken breast and place on an oiled sheet. Cook 18 – 20 minutes at 400 degrees.

Review: I like how the flavors came out on this. I might add a teaspoon or two of mango or apricot jam, and this is one time it might be good for the chicken to be tied closed: it can get a little messy if you're not careful.
