  • In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.

  • Evenly distribute the chicken mixture into each pepper half.
  • Sprinkle lemon-pepper seasoning over the filled pepper halves.
  • Cover the peppers with foil and bake in an oven preheated to 350ºF for 55 minutes, or until everything is hot.
  • Remove the foil, top each pepper with cheese, and bake for about 5 more minutes, or just until the cheese has melted.
