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 unsalted butter
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
- Cut the bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. Place them cut-side up in the prepared baking dish.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Reduce the heat to low. Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth. Stir in the salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cooked fettuccine, and the Alfredo sauce. Mix well until everything is coated.
- Spoon the chicken and pasta mixture evenly into the hollowed-out bell pepper halves.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of water into the bottom of the baking dish to help steam the peppers.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.
- Sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese before serving.
Notes
- You can use rotisserie chicken to save prep time.
- For a lighter sauce, substitute half-and-half for some of the heavy cream.
- If your peppers brown too quickly, cover the dish loosely with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.
