Cheddar Chicken Stuffed Peppers
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 large bell peppers
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Place the peppers in a baking dish and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the chicken. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the onion is softened.
- Stir in the paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the cooked rice, 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped parsley.
- Spoon the chicken and rice mixture into the prepared bell peppers, dividing it evenly among them.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the tops of the stuffed peppers.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to melt and brown the cheese.
- Serve the cheddar chicken stuffed peppers hot and enjoy!
