Instructions
Creating a Cheesy Chicken & Pepper Bake is straightforward. Follow these simple steps to achieve a deliciously cheesy dish:
1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking.
2. Prepare Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
3. Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sliced peppers. Sauté until they are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Combine Ingredients: In the same skillet, add the seasoned chicken breasts to the sautéed vegetables. Stir in the cream of chicken soup and about a cup of the shredded cheese.
5. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish, ensuring the chicken is evenly distributed.
6. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the chicken and pepper mixture generously.
7. Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
8. Cool and Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let sit for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
