Ingredients

2 lbs chicken breast, diced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 green bell pepper, diced

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

½ cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Cook the Chicken:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breast, season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook for 6-8 minutes until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Sauté Vegetables:
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and bell peppers. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Prepare the Sauce:
Reduce heat to low and add the cream cheese, heavy cream, mozzarella cheese, and cheddar cheese. Stir continuously until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes smooth.

Combine Chicken and Sauce:
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and mix everything together until well combined. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika if desired.

Transfer to Baking Dish:
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Top with additional shredded cheese if desired.

Bake:
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Garnish and Serve:
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Vegetable Variations: Add extra veggies like spinach, zucchini, or mushrooms for more flavor and nutrients.

  • Different Proteins: Substitute chicken with ground turkey, beef, or shrimp for a new twist.

  • Extra Cheese: Top with extra cheese for a cheesier, more indulgent casserole.

  • Spice it Up: For a spicy kick, add chopped jalapeños or red pepper flakes to the casserole.
