Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, cooked rice, cream cheese, mozzarella, cheddar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well mixed.
  3. Slice the bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove seeds. Boil them in salted water for 4-5 minutes to soften, then drain and pat dry.
  4. Arrange the pepper halves in the baking dish. Fill each with the chicken mixture, mounding slightly.
  5. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil, top with extra cheese, and bake uncovered for another 10 minutes until bubbly and golden.
  6. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Parboil the peppers for quicker baking and better texture.
  • Use a mix of cheeses for deeper flavor and perfect melt.
  • Customize the filling with extra veggies or spice if desired.
