- 3 bell peppers any color
- 6 frozen breaded chicken tenders
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 ½ tsp. italian seasoning
- 6 tbsp. parmesan cheese
- 12 oz. fresh mozzarella cheese
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Cook breaded chicken according to packaging instructions. While the breaded chicken is cooking, slice peppers in half lengthwise and place in a baking dish. Place in the oven, uncovered and cook for about 15-20 minutes to help soften.
Once the peppers are partially cooked and the chicken is crispy, remove from the oven. Slice up the baked chicken into bite-size pieces.
Add a ¼ cup scoop of marinara sauce to the bottom of each pepper, and place a portion of chicken on top. Add a ¼ teaspoon sprinkle of italian seasoning and 1 tbsp. of parmesan cheese.
Add another scoop of red sauce (a little over a tbsp.), and top with 2 ounces or ¼ cup of mozzarella cheese per pepper.
Place back in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the peppers are soft and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and serve.
