Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Main Course

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 large bell peppers (any colors you like (our favorites were the red & green))
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1 pound ground chicken (or turkey (I used chicken))
1 tablespoon ground chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 can fire-roasted diced tomatoes (with juices, 14 ounces)
1 1/2 cups cooked brown rice (quinoa or cauliflower rice)
1 1/4 cup shredded cheese (Monterey Jack, pepper jack, cheddar, or similar cheese, divided (I used a mix))
Sliced avocado
Chopped fresh cilantro
Salsa
Sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt)
Freshly squeezed lime juice

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Slice the bell peppers in half from top to bottom. Remove the seeds and membranes, then arrange cut side up in the prepared baking dish.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking apart the meat, until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Drain off any excess liquid, then pour in the can of diced tomatoes and their juices. Let simmer for 1 minute.
  • Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the rice and ¾ cup of the shredded cheese. Mound the filling inside of the peppers, then top with the remaining cheese.
  • Pour a bit of water into the pan with the peppers-just enough to barely cover the bottom of the pan. Bake uncovered for 25 to 35 minutes, until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted. Top with any of your favorite fixings, and enjoy hot.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 ounces boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 large white onion, thinly sliced
2 cups cooked brown rice
1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
Juice of 1 large lime
4 medium bell peppers, halved through the stem and seeds removed (1 each green, red, yellow and orange)
A handful cilantro leaves with tender stems
2 tablespoons sour cream
1/2 cup guacamole, optional
1/2 cup pico de gallo, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Combine the chicken, chili powder, cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a large bowl and toss to coat.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it just begins to smoke. Add the chicken and cook, undisturbed, until it just starts to brown in spots, about 2 minutes. Add the onions and cook, stirring often, until tender, about 3 minutes more.
  • Transfer the chicken and onion mixture to another large bowl and rinse and dry the skillet. Add the rice, 1/2 cup of the cheese, half the lime juice, 3/4 teaspoon salt and few grinds of pepper to the chicken and toss to combine. Divide the filling among the peppers.
  • Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet, arrange the peppers on top and turn to high heat. When the oil starts to sizzle, about 2 minutes, transfer to the oven and bake until the filling is hot and the peppers are softened, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup cheese over the peppers and bake until melted, about 3 minutes more.
  • Drizzle the remaining lime juice over the peppers and top with the cilantro leaves. Serve with the sour cream, guacamole and pico de gallo if desired.

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.
