CREAMY ROASTED PARMESAN RED PEPPER CHICKEN

This rich roasted red pepper Parmesan chicken tastes like something from your favorite Italian restaurant—but it's surprisingly easy to make at home! I wanted a dish that would use my red peppers. This was truly amazing. I served it with zoodles and salad, but pasta would also do.
