Can anyone share a stuffed green pepper with chicken recipe
I would like to make stuffed green peppers with chicken tonight but I'm not quite sure how to make them, I've looked at some recipes online and they don't look exactly appealing, how do you guys make them? Any tips you can share would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hi I dont really have an actual recipe...I have altered something my mom used to do growing up. Remove tops/insides from pepper and cook. I usually steam until tender (NOT mush). I stuff mine with shredded chicken breast, stewed/diced tomatoes, brown rice, black beans, (sometimes white corn) and top with a small portion of skim mozarella cheese....YUMMY.... ( and of course some seasonings thrown in!! )
If this sounds like something you would like. Let me know I will give more details0 -
I use wolfgang puck's recipe on foodnetwork and sub 50/50 extra lean ground beef and 99% lean ground turkey for the suggested proteins in the recipe and long grain brown rice or another better grain.0

I don't care for black beans but the other stuff sounds YUMMMMMMMMMMY0 -
I'm actually pretty lazy, and sometimes I steam them, sometimes I leave them raw, but I make chicken salad with laughing cow spreadable swiss and various veggies like tomato and onion, then throw it in there and eat that.0

No problem...just leave them out I have to if the kids are going to be eating them...they dont like them either, but my husband loves them...lol...
I cook the chicken and shred, cook rice and set it aside. Add meat, tomatoes, corn to skillet. Add your seasonings to taste...pepper, garlic, chili powder. (Mine are never the same twice...I like to experiment with flavor). Bring to boil, reduce heat, add cooked rice...as little or much as you like..then simmer. I usually cook peppers while its simmering. Then stuff, top with cheese and then I put in the oven and broil til the cheese is melted.
Hope this helps....Good Luck!!!!!0 -
My stuffed pepper reciepe is fairly simple. Not sure exactly how many calories would be in it because I havent made it since I started calculated. Anyways.
Cut off the top of the pepper (color of your choice I live green) remove the seeds. (6 decent sized peppers)
I boil mine in water until soft (but not mushy or falling apart) just to give them a head start cooking.
Mix together:
Browned ground turkey or chicken (1.5lbs) with 1 clove minced garlic
boil in bag brown rice (2 bags) Could use quina
Green pepper and mushroom tomato sauce (1 jar) Reserve 2 Tablespoons to use as topping
Mrs Dash extra spicy. (add to taste)
Parmasean cheese ( 1 Tablespoon)
Remove peppers from water and place in 13x9 baking dish
Fill peppers with mixture and top with shredded motzeralla cheese and remaning sauce mixed with 1/2cup water
Bake for 30 minutes.
ENJOY!0 -

Hi! I make stuffed bell peepers all the time. I like to use red/yellow or orange peppers better if they are available-they are more "meaty"... Anyway, but green should work just fine too.
Here is what you need.
Ground chicken-1.5-2 lbs
Bell peppers-usually-13-15. If you run out of peppers and still have chicken, you can make little meatballs and make it at the same time-they turn out yummy...
onion-med-lg-1/2 raw and 1/2 saute w some oil in a pan until brownish
1 egg
spices-salt, pepper, and whatever else you like/usually use...
rice cooked-brown or white, whatever you normally use
vinegar
carrot
hunts tomato sauce(4 oz can?)
Before you start you boil some water with some vinegar.
First you prep the chicken. Mix it with egg, grated raw onion, sauteed onion when it cooled, rice.
Next you take peppers, cut off the top, wash inside and out and put them in the boiling water w vinegar for a few minutes-it will make peppers softer. Save the water for later use
Take out peppers, let them cool and stuff them with chicken they you prepared.
In the big pot cut up some onions and put it on the bottom. You can also put carrots, zucchini and whatever else you like
Put the peppers on top. For me they usually fill up the whole pot. You can add some water w vinegar that you saved.
Start cooking on medium.
In a separate pan put grated carrot and saute it then add the tomato sauce. You can also add some sour cream.
When the sauce is done put it in the big pot with your peppers and let everything cook for 1.5-2 hours..
I also baked the peppers, maybe 1-1.5 hours, they turn out really good too.
It seems like a lot of work, but the whole family loves it . I generally have leftovers for 2 days, They are about 250 cal each...
Good luck!0 -
In base mine off of the Biggest Loser recipe
Brown rice
one egg
Ground turkey (sometimes I cheat and use our homemade sausage)
diced chiles
Shredded cheese
You obviously don't need the chiles but I pretty much make everything spicy.
Combine all the precooked ingredients and stuff in pepper halves. Bake to your preference (I like my peppers to stay crisp) with about 1 inch of water in the bottom of the pan.0 -

1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1/8 teaspoon salt
4 large red sweet peppers or you can use green peppers too

2. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 6 to 7 hours or on high-heat setting for 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Transfer peppers to a serving plate. Serve with tomatoes from slow cooker.
