4 medium sweet yellow or orange peppers
1-1/2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
1-1/2 cups cooked brown rice

When cool enough to handle, fill peppers with chicken mixture. In batches, cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese; cook until cheese is melted, 3-5 minutes.

These stuffed peppers were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.
