Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
   • Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
   • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
   • Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side or until they are cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

3. Slice the Chicken:
   • Slice the cooked chicken breasts into thin strips.
4. Prepare the Bell Peppers:
   • While preparing the creamy sauce, cut the bell peppers in half and remove the seeds and membranes.
   • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a separate skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Place the bell pepper halves in the skillet, cut-side down, and cook for about 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
   • Flip the bell pepper halves and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until they are slightly charred and tender.
   • Season with salt and pepper.
5. Assemble the Dish:
   • Place a few slices of cooked chicken inside each bell pepper half.
6. Pour the Creamy Sauce:
