It’s no secret that I love easy family dinner ideas. I am on a mission to share with you all more of what we make for dinner – with easy being KING in our house. If you have ever watched a show like Chopped it’s pretty inspiring because it’s about taking just a few ingredients to start with as a base & creating something spectacular & unique with it all. So with this I started with a couple things, added a few more & created these Cheesy Red Pepper Stuffed Chicken Breast for dinner the other night. It was ONE FABULOUS DINNER.

I added a few other ingredients to make this into FABULOUS cheesy red pepper stuffed chicken breast that the whole family was swooning over.

Honestly – it looks so much harder than it is. Stuff, roll, top & bake – that’s it. Add a side of veggies & you have yourself a delish dish suitable for company.

I love changing the way we enjoy chicken. It can be so easy to get stuck in a rut. But with challenges that push you to find your creativity with a specific list of ingredients it makes boring turn exciting real quick.

Ingredients

6-7 boneless skinless chicken breasts
8 ounces cream cheese - room temperature
1-2 cups Sargento Chef Blends Shredded 6 Cheese Italian divided
1 red pepper diced into small pieces
1 cup plain greek yogurt
½ cup parmesan cheese
1 cup bread crumbs
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp season salt
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper

Instructions

Spray a 9x13 glass baking dish with cooking spray - set aside.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
In a mixer - combine the cream cheese, 1 cup of the shredded cheese & the bell pepper - beat until well blended and creamy.
In a small bowl combine greek yogurt & parmesan cheese - whip together until fully blended - set aside.
Pound chicken breast with a meat tenderizer until flat.
Take each chicken breast & spoon a little of the cheese/bell pepper mixture in the center - roll it up & place it in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with each breast.
Once all the chicken is stuffed - spread on your yogurt/cheese mixture.
Top with the bread crumbs and seasonings (garlic, seasoned salt, salt and pepper).
Bake for 25 minutes or until internal temp reaches 165 degrees.
When you have about 5 minutes left - remove & top with the remaining cheese & return to the oven to allow it to melt & brown.

Notes

To make in the air fryer - cut the recipe in half to accommodate the size of the air fryer.

Then reduce the size of the chicken breasts - pounding very thin to reduce the cooking time.

Cook at 360 degrees for 6-8 minutes. Add the cheese - then cook another 4-6 minutes - or until internal temp reaches 165 degrees and cheese is melted.
