1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup sour cream

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Cook the pasta: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

      Sauté the vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add in the broccoli florets and bell peppers, stirring for about 4-5 minutes until slightly tender. Remove from heat.

        Mix the cream sauce: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.

          Combine ingredients: In the large bowl containing the creamy mixture, fold in the cooked pasta, sautéed vegetables, and shredded chicken. Make sure everything is evenly coated with the sauce.

            Prepare for baking: Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly. Top with mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese.

              Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

                Garnish and serve: Once baked, remove from oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
