Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Stuffed Main Dish Recipes     Stuffed Bell Pepper Recipes

Time 1h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 medium green bell peppers, tops removed, seeded
1 ¼ cups water, divided
3 tablespoons taco seasoning, divided
2 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
½ cup brown rice, rinsed well
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into thick slices
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ cup chopped onion
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chiles (such as RO*TEL®)
1 cup shredded Mexican-blend cheese, divided
½ teaspoon garlic salt, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place green peppers in a baking dish with 1/8 cup water in the bottom.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until peppers are slightly browned around the edges, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • While the peppers are baking, whisk 1/4 cup water and 2 tablespoons taco seasoning together in a small bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
  • Combine remaining 1 cup water and rice in a pot over high heat; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in remaining taco seasoning and let sit, covered, until tender, about 15 minutes more. Remove the lid, drain any remaining liquid, and set aside.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Remove chicken from the refrigerator and place on the preheated grill with the pepper slices. Cook chicken until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Grill peppers until tender, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  • Remove chicken and peppers from the grill and allow to cool. Shred chicken and dice peppers.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and garlic; saute until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Add cooked rice, shredded chicken, diced peppers, diced tomatoes and green chiles, 1/2 of the cheese, and garlic salt; stir until well blended. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until hot, about 5 minutes.
  • Spoon rice mixture into the green peppers. Top with remaining cheese.
  • Return to the oven until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.

SIMPLE BEANS AND RICE STUFFED BELL PEPPERS

I wanted to make stuffed peppers at the cottage without taking a lot of ingredients and came up with this. Great for lunch or as a side dish and easily doubled. Meatless.

Provided by Cookin-jo

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 50m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

2 large red peppers or 3 medium red peppers

1 (10 ounce) can condensed tomato soup

Steps:

  • Prepare beans and rice according to package directions. Let stand until most of the liquid is absorbed.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Wash and dry peppers. Slice off the stem end and remove membrane and seeds.
  • Stuff each pepper halfway with beans and rice, sprinkle in 1/4 of the cheese, fill to the top with beans and rice and sprinkle in another 1/4 of the cheese. Press with the back of a spoon as you fill to compact. Replace the stem ends onto the peppers.

PEPPERS STUFFED WITH RICE, ZUCCHINI AND HERBS



Peppers Stuffed With Rice, Zucchini and Herbs image

I used a medium-grain rice that I buy at my local Iranian market for these peppers. The package says that the rice is great for stuffing vegetables because it doesn't swell too much, and it's right. It goes into the peppers uncooked and steams in the oven, inside the peppers (so it's important to cook them long enough and cover the baking dish). Make sure that you spoon the sauce left in the baking dish over the rice once the peppers are done. These are good hot or at room temperature. I like to use green peppers.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, lunch, main course, side dish

Time 2h

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 medium peppers, preferably green
2 medium zucchini (about 3/4 pound), shredded
Salt to taste
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh mint
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill or parsley
1 scant cup uncooked medium grain rice
Freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons tomato paste dissolved in 2/3 cup water
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Steps:

  • Prepare the peppers. With a sharp paring knife, cut away the tops, then reach in and pull out the membranes and seeds.
  • Toss the shredded zucchini with salt and let drain in a colander for 20 minutes. Take up handfuls of zucchini and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Transfer to a medium bowl and add the garlic, mint, parsley or dill, and rice. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in 1/4 cup of the olive oil and let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Oil a baking dish large enough to accommodate all of the peppers. Fill the peppers about 3/4 of the way full with the stuffing, and replace the caps. Place in the oiled baking dish. Mix together the tomato paste and water with the remaining olive oil and the lemon juice. Season to taste. Add to the baking dish. Cover the dish with foil. Place in the oven and bake 45 minutes to an hour, until the peppers are soft. Remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature, or serve hot. Remove the tops of the peppers and spoon the sauce in the baking dish over the rice before serving.

Beef and Rice Stuffed Bell Peppers image

Ninety-four percent of all stuffed peppers are made because there's leftover rice around. You can adjust this recipe in lots of different places: the herbs, the meat to use, etc. Give these beautiful stuffed peppers a try!

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Stuffed Main Dish Recipes     Stuffed Bell Pepper Recipes

Time 1h40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 bell peppers
2 ½ cups chunky tomato sauce
½ onion, very thinly sliced
1 cup beef broth
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 ½ pounds lean ground beef
1 ½ cups cooked rice
½ cup freshly shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
¼ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
½ cup chunky tomato sauce, divided
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Slice the top 1/2 inch from the tops of peppers and cut out the stems from the tops. Cut the core from the inside of the peppers and strip away any seeds. Cut away a very thin slice of pepper from the bottoms so the peppers can stand upright. Poke about 4 tiny holes in the bottoms to let juices drain out.
  • Pour 2 1/2 cups tomato sauce into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Add onion, beef broth, and red pepper flakes; spread out mixture evenly over the bottom. Set prepared bell peppers upright in the dish.
  • Combine ground beef, cooked rice, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, 1/4 cup parsley, 2 tablespoons tomato sauce, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl.
  • Lightly stuff peppers with meat mixture. Spread 1 tablespoon remaining tomato sauce on top of each portion of stuffing; place reserved tops onto peppers. Lay a piece of parchment paper loosely on top of peppers and cover dish tightly with foil. Lay dish on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour. Peppers should be starting to soften. Remove foil and parchment paper. Continue to bake until meat filling is cooked through and the peppers are tender, 20 to 30 more minutes. Sprinkle each pepper with 1/2 teaspoon parsley and drizzle with a spoonful of pan juices.
