We've always liked stuffed peppers, but everyone is pleasantly surprised at this mildly spicy version. For convenience, you can assemble these pretty peppers ahead of time and bake them later. -LaDonna Reed of Ponca City, Oklahoma

Time 1h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
¼ cup water
3 tablespoons chili powder
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons salt
1 pinch ground cumin, or to taste
1 pinch crushed red pepper, or to taste
1 cup cooked rice
½ cup black beans, rinsed and drained
4 large green bell peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded
1 ½ (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Mexican cheese blend
1 medium avocado, sliced, or to taste
¼ cup sour cream, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 385 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Heat butter and oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Saute onion in the hot pan until soft, about 5 minutes. Add chicken; cook and stir until browned and no longer pink in the center, 7 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, and add water and chili powder. Stir in garlic, salt, cumin, and red pepper; let cook for 5 minutes. Add rice and black beans.
  • Transfer chicken mixture to a bowl. Pour most of the crushed tomatoes into a large baking pan so it is 1 inch deep. Stuff the chicken mixture into the bell pepper halves until slightly overfilled and place open-side up in the tomatoes. Pour remaining crushed tomatoes over the peppers so they are just covered. Sprinkle with Mexican cheese, and cover the pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until peppers are soft, about 50 minutes. Serve hot with avocado and sour cream to garnish.
