Classic Stuffed Peppers Recipe
Classic stuffed peppers filled with ground chicken, rice, onion, carrot, and cheese make an easy weeknight supper.
Ingredients
- 1 onion
- 1 carrot
- 4 Bell Peppers
- 3 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese
- 1 lb Ground Chicken
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp Parsley
- 1 cup rice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degreesF.
- Slice the peppers in half from the stem end down through the base. Remove all the seeds and membranes.
- Meanwhile, heat the 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat in a large nonstick skillet. Add the onion and cook until soft for 3- 4 minutes.
- Grate the carrot. Use a grater to shred the carrot.
- Add the carrot in the skillet, then ground chicken. Season with salt,and bleak pepper and increase the heat to medium-high.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered until the meat is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the rice and 1/2 cup of water. Let simmer for about 5 minutes. Add the chopped parsley.
- Spoon the mixture into each pepper and top with mozzarella cheese, then cover the baking dish with foil, and place in the oven.
- Bake for 50 minutes total: 40 minutes covered with foil so the peppers can slightly steam and become tender, and then 10 minutes longer uncovered, so the cheese can get all golden brown and bubbly.
