Prepare Your Cajun Mix
In a small bowl, combine paprika, cayenne, oregano, thyme, and salt. Stir until evenly blended.
Get the Oven Ready
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a casserole dish.
Assemble the Layers
Scatter thinly sliced bell peppers at the bottom of the dish.
Place chicken breasts on top of the peppers. Generously sprinkle the Cajun mix over the chicken.
Add Garlic & Cheeses
Spread minced garlic across the chicken.
Layer cream cheese slices on each breast, then sprinkle cheddar cheese to cover.
Bake & Broil
Transfer the dish to the preheated oven. Bake uncovered for about 20–30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
If desired, switch to the broiler for 2 minutes to create a lovely, golden crust.
Serve & Enjoy
Once out of the oven, arrange bell peppers around and on top of the chicken for a colorful presentation. Serve your Zesty Cajun Chicken Bake hot, and dig in!
