Time 1h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup long-grain white rice, uncooked
6 medium bell peppers, any color
2 cups cooked chicken, diced
1 cup celery, chopped
1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons drained pimento, chopped
1 cup mayonnaise, or to taste
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
1 dash freshly ground black pepper
1 cup water

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Cook the rice following the package directions.
  • Fluff with a fork and set aside.
  • Heat the oven to 350 F/180 C/Gas 4. Grease a shallow 2 1/2- or 3-quart baking dish.
  • Cut the tops off the peppers and carefully scrape out the seeds and ribs. For smaller portions, simply slice the peppers in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds, ribs, and stems and proceed with the recipe.
  • Put the peppers in a large saucepan and cover them with water. 
  • Place the pan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until the peppers are just tender. Drain well and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the cooked rice, chicken, celery, onion, and pimiento.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise, curry powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Gently toss the mayonnaise mixture with the rice and chicken mixture. Taste and adjust seasonings, as desired.
  • Fill the peppers with the rice and chicken mixture and place them in the prepared baking dish. If one or more peppers are somewhat lopsided and won't stand up, crumple a small sheet of foil to make a "stand," nestling the stuffed bell pepper in the foil.
  • Pour about 1 cup of hot water into the baking dish, or just enough to cover the bottom.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is hot. Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!

CHICKEN AND RICE STUFFED PEPPERS



Chicken and Rice Stuffed Peppers image

My fiance loves stuffed peppers but I had never made them. So after looking at quite a few recipes, I decided to put my own special twist on them and see what he thought. He loved them! I used chicken to keep it on the healthy side and used low-fat items whenever possible to try to keep it healthy. I hope everyone else enjoys!

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 medium green peppers
2 cups whole grain rice
1 large boneless skinless chicken breast, cubed
1 pinch seasoning salt
1 pinch garlic powder
1/2 medium onion, diced
2 cups low sodium spaghetti sauce
1/2 cup fat-free parmesan cheese
1/2 cup fat-free shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons hot sauce, to taste
1/2 cup water
additional fat free mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400.
  • Cut the tops off of the peppers and scoop out seeds and insides so the pepper is hollow. Stand peppers in a deep baking dish. Set aside.
  • Cook whole grain rice according to package directions (I used Success Boil-in-Bag; it turns out perfect every time in the microwave). Make sure to drain and fluff rice as soon as it's done cooking.
  • While rice is cooking, sprinkle seasoned salt and garlic powder over cubed chicken breast (season to taste). Cook in a large saucepan, adding diced onion halfway through cooking. Cook until chicken is no longer pink and onion is tender.
  • Set burner heat to low and add rice and spaghetti sauce to chicken in saucepan. Stir until well combined.
  • Stir in Parmesan and Mozzarella cheeses to chicken mixture. Stir until well combined and Mozzarella cheese has melted.
  • Add garlic powder and hot sauce (more or less of each to taste -- we like stuff spicy around here!) to chicken mixture and stir to combine.
  • Let the mixture cook on Low heat for about 10 minutes to blend flavors.
  • Remove from heat and divide equally and fill the 6 green peppers with chicken mixture. If it's not enough to fill them to the top, I just mix more spaghetti sauce and extra rice to get them filled.
  • Add 1/2 c water to the bottom of the deep baking dish to help peppers cook. Bake in oven 45 minutes or until pepper cups are mostly tender with just a little crunch.
  • Serve with additional shredded Mozzarella to sprinkle over the tops of peppers.
  • PLEASE NOTE: All of my measurements are approximate as I don't usually measure my ingredients when making my own recipes. Please adjust the amounts of each ingredient to your liking and feel free to contact me if you don't understand some of my rambling instructions!

ROASTED CHICKEN WITH WILD RICE STUFFING



Roasted Chicken With Wild Rice Stuffing image

My daughter found this recipe on another food network and used it to stuff a baked chicken. We all loved it and since then I have fixed it to good reviews from all the family except the grandsons (was probably a little to different for them) The taste is rich and the texture moist, My daughter changed it some as it was intended for a goose, rather than chicken and called for roasted chestnuts, but we prefer mushrooms. Great for that special dinner for friends or family.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: Look for peppers that are firm and have a deep red color. Avoid peppers that are bruised or have soft spots.
  • Cook the rice ahead of time: This will save you time when you're assembling the stuffed peppers. You can cook the rice in a rice cooker or on the stovetop.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor and texture to the stuffing. Some good options include celery, carrots, onions, and mushrooms.
  • Don't overstuff the peppers: Otherwise, they may burst open during cooking. Fill the peppers about two-thirds full.
  • Bake the peppers at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust on the peppers.
  • Serve the peppers with your favorite sauce: Some good options include tomato sauce, Alfredo sauce, or enchilada sauce.
