Description
Bell peppers filled with a mixture of ground chicken, rice, herbs, and feta cheese, baked until tender.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large bell peppers (any color)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup cooked white rice
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a baking dish.
- Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Place the peppers cut-side up in the prepared baking dish.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground chicken and cook, breaking it up, until browned. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the cooked rice, feta cheese, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Spoon the chicken mixture evenly into the hollowed-out bell peppers.
- Pour the drained diced tomatoes around the base of the peppers in the baking dish. Pour the chicken broth over the tomatoes.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.
Notes
- You can substitute ground turkey for ground chicken if you prefer.
- For extra moisture, you can baste the tops of the peppers with pan juices halfway through the covered baking time.
