Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella divided
  • 1/3 cup shredded Parmesan
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 4 bell peppers any color

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Add the chicken, marinara, 1/2 cup of mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, and red pepper flakes to a large mixing bowl. Stir well to combine.
  • Cut the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. Place peppers in a 9x13 baking dish.
  • Spoon the chicken mixture evenly between the peppers and top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
  • Add two tablespoons of water to the bottom of the baking dish and cover tightly with foil.
  • Bake for 25 minutes or until peppers have softened to your liking.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

For softer peppers, boil for 3 minutes before stuffing and baking. As is, these are tender-crisp.
