Recipe by Chef Simon Pierre Huneault

Ingredients

375 ml (1 1/2 cups) Rao’s arrabbiata sauce
3 large sweet bell peppers, in various colors
2 chicken breasts (about 450 g)
100 g goat cheese
125 g cream cheese
45 ml (3 tbsp) roasted red pepper pesto
6 slices prosciutto (75 g)
45 ml (3 tbsp) chopped chives
15 ml (1 tbsp) olive oil
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then wrap them in prosciutto slices. Place the chicken breasts on the baking sheet.
Cut the bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Place the peppers on the baking sheet with the chicken and drizzle with olive oil.
Bake at 400°F for 25 minutes. Once cooked, let the meat rest for 15 minutes.
After resting, cut the prosciutto-wrapped chicken into large pieces. In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with roasted red pepper pesto, cream cheese, goat cheese, chives, salt, and pepper.
Pour the Rao’s arrabbiata sauce into an ovenproof dish. Stuff the peppers with the chicken mixture and place them on top of the sauce.
Bake at 425°F for 20 minutes.
Finish cooking under the broiler for 2-3 minutes.
Serve the stuffed peppers with the sauce.
