Chicken Parmesan Stuffed Peppers

 

They are easy to make, kid-friendly, low carb (if you’re into that), and absolutely delicious!

I won’t bore you with a long story or essay about the recipe before finally getting to the nitty-gritty. Here it is!

What you'll need:

-4 bell peppers; sliced & seeds removed

-12 oz. breaded chicken tenders (fresh or frozen)

-1.5 cups marinara sauce

-3 cups mozzarella cheese

-1/2 cup parmesan cheese

-1 TBS parsley

-1 TBS minced garlic

-Pinch of crushed red pepper (for a tiny kick!)

-Salt & pepper

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cook the breaded chicken tenders. Once cooked and cooled, dice into small pieces.

  2. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups mozzarella with Parmesan, marinara, garlic, parsley, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, season with salt and pepper. Stir until combined, then add in chicken.

  3. Spoon filling mixture into halved bell peppers and sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup mozzarella.

  4. Bake until peppers are tender, 55 minutes to 1 hour.

  5. Garnish with parsley, then serve!
