Ingredients

  • 2 large green bell peppers

  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2
Cut tops off green peppers and place peppers in a baking pan. Dice any pepper flesh surrounding stems; set aside. Discard seeds and stems.

Step 3
Mix ground chicken, rice, onion, garlic, black pepper, and salt together in a bowl. Mix in diced peppers.

Cook’s Note:

I like to put crushed red pepper flakes in as well. Try it if you like your food with a little kick.
