For the Stuffed Chicken Breast:

- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup chopped celery
- 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup melted butter

For the Cajun Rice:

- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup chopped celery

To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, mix together the cooked rice, onion, celery, bell pepper, cheddar cheese, parsley, breadcrumbs, melted butter, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
Next, using a sharp knife, cut a pocket into the thickest part of each chicken breast. Stuff each chicken breast with the rice mixture, making sure to fill the pocket completely. Secure the opening with toothpicks.
Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the filling is hot and bubbly.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the Cajun rice. In a large skillet, sauté the onion, celery, and bell pepper until tender. Add the cooked rice, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper, and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the rice is heated through.
To serve, place a stuffed chicken breast on a plate and spoon the Cajun rice alongside it. Garnish with additional parsley, if desired.
