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.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of bell peppers. Different colored bell peppers will add different flavors and colors to your soup. For example, green bell peppers have a slightly bitter taste, while red bell peppers are sweeter.
  • Roast the bell peppers before adding them to the soup. Roasting the bell peppers will give them a smoky, caramelized flavor. To roast the bell peppers, place them on a baking sheet and broil them for 5-10 minutes per side, or until they are charred.
  • Use a good quality chicken broth. The chicken broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Add some spice to the soup. If you like spicy food, you can add some chili powder, cayenne pepper, or cumin to the soup. You can also add some fresh cilantro or lime juice for a refreshing flavor.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings for Mexican chicken and bell pepper soup include shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, and tortilla chips.
