Method

  1. Add the ground chicken to a large pan and season with 10 g of Kinder's Salt, Pepper & Garlic seasoning.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The chicken is broken into small crumbles as it cooks. Spread it across the pan for even cooking.

  2. While the chicken cooks, dice the six bell peppers.

  3. When the chicken is about halfway done, add the diced peppers and continue cooking for roughly 10 minutes, until the peppers are tender and the chicken is fully cooked.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The chicken is fully cooked and peppers are tender. Stir through the pan so the peppers soften evenly.

  4. Cook the entire box of Barilla Protein+ pasta according to the package directions, then drain it.

  5. Add the cooked pasta, drained jalapeños, the whole jar of Alfredo sauce, and the seven slices of pepper jack cheese to the chicken and peppers.

  6. Stir over low heat until the cheese melts and everything is evenly coated.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The cheese has melted into a smooth coating. Keep the heat low while stirring.
