Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large bell peppers (any color)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cooked and shredded
  • 8 ounces fettuccine pasta, cooked al dente
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Place peppers cut-side up in the prepared baking dish.
  3. Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch the peppers for 5 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool slightly.
  4. While peppers blanch, make the Alfredo sauce. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low.
  6. Whisk in the 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese until smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg, if using.
  7. In a large bowl, combine the cooked, shredded chicken, cooked fettuccine, and the Alfredo sauce. Mix well to coat everything.
  8. Spoon the chicken Alfredo mixture evenly into the hollowed-out bell peppers.
  9. Top each stuffed pepper with the shredded mozzarella cheese.
  10. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
  11. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can use rotisserie chicken to save time on cooking the breast.
  • For a richer flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Feel free to add cooked broccoli florets to the filling mixture.
