Ingredients
- 2 red bell peppers, sliced in half lengthwise
- 2 cups shredded chicken (I used rotisserie)
- 1 cup marinara of choice (I used Rao’s)
- 2/3 cup shredded cheese blend (I used an italian pizza blend, you could also use mozzarella and parmesan)
- 1/2 tsp italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper
- Parsley, for serving, optional
- Red pepper flakes, for serving, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees and grease an 8 x 11 casserole dish.
- Slice peppers in half lengthwise and remove seeds and stem. Place in casserole dish.
- In a separate bowl, combine chicken, marinara, salt, and pepper and toss to coat.
- Divide chicken mixture among bell pepper halves, then top with cheese and Italian seasoning. Add a little bit of water to the base of the casserole dish, just enough to cover the bottom of the dish. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake an additional 5 minutes, option to broil last few minutes to get the cheese nice and golden.
- Garnish with parsley and red pepper flakes and serve with a big salad.
