Cheesy Baked Chicken and Peppers Recipe
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to preference
1 cup of cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
3 tablespoons of high-quality olive oil
Fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped, for garnishing
Cooking Steps:
Get your oven heating up to 375°F.
As that’s going on, grab a bowl large enough for all your chicken. Toss in your chicken, garlic, paprika, oregano, a pinch of salt, some cracked black pepper, and drizzle in that olive oil. Make sure every piece of chicken is well-coated.
Introduce the sliced peppers to this flavor party and give it another good mix.
Transfer this mix into a 9×13 casserole dish. Spread it out for even cooking.
Now, for the best part – shower your dish with cheddar and parmesan cheeses.
Pop it into the oven. After about 25-30 minutes, your kitchen should be filled with the aromas of well-cooked chicken, roasted peppers, and of course, the tantalizing scent of bubbling cheese.
Once done, pull it out and immediately sprinkle on some freshly chopped parsley.
Dish it out while it’s hot and bask in the compliments!
For those of you juggling busy schedules, this Cheesy Baked Chicken and Peppers is a game-changer. It’s uncomplicated, friendly on the wallet, and oh-so scrumptious. Once you try it, I’m pretty sure it’ll earn a permanent spot on your family’s go-to recipe list. Enjoy!
