Categories     Stuffed Bell Peppers

Time 1h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
¼ cup water
3 tablespoons chili powder
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons salt
1 pinch ground cumin, or to taste
1 pinch crushed red pepper, or to taste
1 cup cooked rice
½ cup black beans, rinsed and drained
4 large green bell peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded
1 ½ (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Mexican cheese blend
1 medium avocado, sliced, or to taste
¼ cup sour cream, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 385 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Heat butter and oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Saute onion in the hot pan until soft, about 5 minutes. Add chicken; cook and stir until browned and no longer pink in the center, 7 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, and add water and chili powder. Stir in garlic, salt, cumin, and red pepper; let cook for 5 minutes. Add rice and black beans.
  • Transfer chicken mixture to a bowl. Pour most of the crushed tomatoes into a large baking pan so it is 1 inch deep. Stuff the chicken mixture into the bell pepper halves until slightly overfilled and place open-side up in the tomatoes. Pour remaining crushed tomatoes over the peppers so they are just covered. Sprinkle with Mexican cheese, and cover the pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until peppers are soft, about 50 minutes. Serve hot with avocado and sour cream to garnish.

Provided by Dancer

Categories     Chicken

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 large sweet red peppers
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon minced fresh gingerroot
1/2 cup finely chopped carrot
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onion
1 cup finely chopped chicken, skin removed before cooking
1 cup cooked rice
1/2 cup frozen English peas, thawed
1 egg, beaten
4 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
1/8 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Cut a 1/2" thick slice from the side of each pepper, reserving slices; remove seeds.
  • Place peppers in boiling water, boil 5 minutes, drain, set aside.
  • Coat a large skillet or wok with Pam; add sesame oil, and place over med heat until hot.
  • Add garlic and gingerroot; stir fry 30 seconds.
  • Add carrots and green onions; stir fry 2 minutes more.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Add chicken and remaining ingredients, stirring well.
  • Spoon 3/4 cup mixture into each reserved pepper.
  • Top with reserved pepper slices.
  • Arrange peppers, cut side up, in a 10 x 6 x 2" baking dish.
  • Cover and bake 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until thoroughly heated.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Peppers: Select large, firm bell peppers with smooth skin and vibrant color. Look for peppers with thick walls, as they can better hold the stuffing and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Prep the Peppers Properly: Cut the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds and ribs. Rinse the peppers thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. This will help the stuffing adhere better.
  • Make a Flavorful Stuffing: The stuffing is the heart of this dish, so make sure it's packed with flavor. Use a combination of ground chicken, cooked rice, aromatics (like onions, garlic, and celery), spices, and herbs. You can also add some cooked beans or corn for extra texture and nutrition.
  • Don't Overstuff the Peppers: While you want the peppers to be well-stuffed, avoid overfilling them. Leave some space at the top of each pepper so that the rice can expand during cooking.
  • Use a flavorful Sauce: The sauce adds moisture and flavor to the stuffed peppers. You can use a simple tomato sauce, a more complex enchilada sauce, or even a creamy cheese sauce. Choose a sauce that complements the flavors of the stuffing.
  • Bake until Tender: Bake the stuffed peppers in a preheated oven until the peppers are tender and the stuffing is cooked through. This usually takes around 30-40 minutes.

Conclusion:

Chicken Stuffed Chili Bell Peppers are a delicious and versatile dish that can be tailored to your taste preferences. With endless variations of stuffing and sauce, you can create a unique and satisfying meal that everyone will enjoy. Serve them as a main course with a side of salad or roasted vegetables, or pack them for a flavorful and portable lunch. The combination of tender bell peppers, flavorful chicken stuffing, and a rich sauce makes this dish a true crowd-pleaser.
