Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease a 9 x 13 pan.
Pound out the chicken breasts until about ¼-inch thick.
Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat; saute mushrooms, bell peppers and onion for about 5 minutes.
Place a bit of cheese in the center of each chicken breast; place a large spoonful of mushroom/bell pepper/onion mixture on top; place on another bit of cheese.
Roll up the chicken so stuffing stays completely inside; secure chicken with wooden toothpicks; place in the prepared pan. Season generously with 4 T. cajun seasoning. Place 1 T. butter on top of each chicken breast.
Bake until chicken is cooked through, to an internal temperature of 165 degrees, about 40 -55 minutes.
Remove toothpicks before serving.
Serve.
