There's a pizza place back home that uses these peppers on their pizzas. I absolutely love the flavor of them. *If you can't find Cubanelle peppers, small poblano chiles can be used.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 cubanelle peppers
24 oz chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
salt and pepper, to taste
2 tsp vegetable oil
12 oz cream cheese, softened
2 1/2 pt salsa
12 oz monterey jack cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • 1. Cut 1/2 inch from the top of each pepper and reserve the tops. Remove the membranes and seeds from the body and blanch the peppers in boiling water for 30 seconds. Remove from the water, drain and cool.
  • 2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Brush them with oil and grill until done. Cool the chicken breasts and slice them into thin strips.
  • 3. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Combine the chicken, cream cheese and 1 1/4 cups of the salsa in a food processor. Season with salt and pepper and pulse, mixing well but being careful not to puree.
  • 4. Fill the peppers with the chicken mixture and replace the tops. Place the peppers in a baking dish and cover with the remaining salsa and shredded cheese. Bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until hot throughout.

This recipe was a total disaster! The peppers were tough and the stuffing was dry. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could use more seasoning.

I've made this recipe a few times, and I've always had trouble getting the peppers to cook evenly. Some of them are always undercooked, while others are overcooked.

I love the versatility of this recipe. I've made it with different types of peppers, and it's always delicious. I also like that I can adjust the heat level by using different types of sausage.

I've made this recipe a few times now, and it always turns out great. The peppers are always tender and flavorful, and the stuffing is always moist and delicious.

These stuffed Cubanelle peppers were a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of flavors was amazing, and the peppers were cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making these again soon.
