SPICY CHICKEN STUFFED BELL PEPPERS

My DH created this delicious recipe. It's a great alternative to ground beef stuffed peppers. This recipe serves 8-10 people.

Provided by Jennifer K.

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h5m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 (10 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chilies
14 ounces tomato sauce
2 (1 1/4 ounce) packets taco seasoning
12 ounces taco sauce
1 medium onion, diced
2 (2 1/4 ounce) cans black olives, diced
2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
4 -5 large bell peppers, green, red, yellow (I like red!)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Boil chicken in a large pot until no longer pink.
  • When chicken is done, shred with fork and place in a large skillet with diced tomatoes and green chilies and diced onion. Cook over medium heat until onions are translucent.
  • Add tomato sauce, taco seasoning, olives and taco sauce.
  • Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes.
  • Slice bell peppers in half lengthwise. Remove seeds. Place on cookie sheet, cut side down, and bake in oven for 10-12 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and drain any juice from peppers.
  • Fill pepper halves with chicken mixture. Cover with shredded Mexican cheese.
  • Bake at 350°F for approximately 40-45 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and firm bell peppers to ensure they hold their shape during cooking.
  • Use a variety of bell peppers to add color and flavor to your dish. Different colors of peppers have slightly different taste profiles, so experiment to find your favorite combination.
  • Make sure to cook the chicken and rice mixture thoroughly before stuffing the peppers. This will prevent the chicken from becoming dry and the rice from remaining uncooked.
  • Pack the chicken and rice mixture tightly into the bell peppers to prevent it from falling out during cooking.
  • If you are using a slow cooker, place the stuffed bell peppers in a single layer on the bottom of the cooker. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bell peppers are tender.
  • If you are baking the stuffed bell peppers, place them in a baking dish and add 1 cup of water or broth to the bottom of the dish. Cover and bake at 375°F for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the bell peppers are tender.
  • Serve the stuffed bell peppers with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Spicy chicken stuffed bell peppers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that the whole family will enjoy.
