  • Author: Cullys Kitchen

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 slices bacon (cut crosswise into ½ inch pieces)
  • 1 medium red bell pepper (diced)
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
  • ¼ cup Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto
  • 1 jar (15 oz) Alfredo pasta sauce ((15 oz)
  • Serve over rice or pasta

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Cook bacon in a large skillet until crispy; remove bacon and set aside on a plate covered with paper toweling to drain.
  3. In the same skillet cook red pepper pieces in the bacon dripping to crisp-tender; using a slotted spoon place remove the pepper, and place in a medium-size bowl. Add the Alfredo pasta sauce, Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto, and mix until combined.
