Mozzarella Chicken Stuffed Peppers
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 large bell peppers
- 1 pound of chicken breast, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Place the peppers in a baking dish and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the diced onion, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the onions are soft and fragrant.
- Stir in the marinara sauce and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the mixture is well combined.
- Spoon the chicken and cheese mixture into the prepared bell peppers, dividing it evenly among them.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the stuffed peppers.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to brown the cheese.
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving. Enjoy!
