  2. Fill each shell evenly with seasoned chicken. Divide pepper strips evenly over chicken. Top each with 1/4 cup baked beans and 1/4 cup cheese. Sprinkle with bacon.
  3. Bake 8 minutes or until thoroughly heated and cheese is melted. If desired, garnish with grape tomatoes.

Recipe Tips

  • Leftover chicken on hand? It takes about 3/4 pound of cooked chicken to make 2 cups of cut-up strips.
