Method
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Whisk in the flour and continue to cook until the mixture turns golden.
- Gradually pour in the milk and heavy cream, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Continue to simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce has thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the shredded cooked chicken until well combined.
- Arrange the halved bell peppers in a baking dish. Drizzle them with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Spoon the chicken Alfredo mixture evenly into each pepper half. Top generously with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the mozzarella is melted and bubbly. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
💡 Tips
- For easier stuffing, you can lightly blanch the pepper halves in boiling water for 2-3 minutes before filling.
- If you don't have pre-cooked chicken, you can quickly sauté some chicken breast or thighs and shred them for the filling.
