Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400.
• Cut the tops off of the peppers and scoop out seeds and insides so the pepper is hollow. Stand peppers in a deep baking dish. Set aside.
• Cook whole grain rice according to package directions (I used Success Boil-in-Bag; it turns out perfect every time in the microwave). Make sure to drain and fluff rice as soon as it's done cooking.
• While rice is cooking, sprinkle seasoned salt and garlic powder over cubed chicken breast (season to taste). Cook in a large saucepan, adding diced onion halfway through cooking. Cook until chicken is no longer pink and onion is tender.
• Set burner heat to low and add rice and spaghetti sauce to chicken in saucepan. Stir until well combined.

• Let the mixture cook on Low heat for about 10 minutes to blend flavors.
• Remove from heat and divide equally and fill the 6 green peppers with chicken mixture. If it's not enough to fill them to the top, I just mix more spaghetti sauce and extra rice to get them filled.
• Add 1/2 c water to the bottom of the deep baking dish to help peppers cook. Bake in oven 45 minutes or until pepper cups are mostly tender with just a little crunch.
• Serve with additional shredded Mozzarella to sprinkle over the tops of peppers.

• Fluff with a fork and set aside.
• Heat the oven to 350 F/180 C/Gas 4. Grease a shallow 2 1/2- or 3-quart baking dish.

• In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise, curry powder, salt, and pepper.
• Gently toss the mayonnaise mixture with the rice and chicken mixture. Taste and adjust seasonings, as desired.
• Fill the peppers with the rice and chicken mixture and place them in the prepared baking dish. If one or more peppers are somewhat lopsided and won't stand up, crumple a small sheet of foil to make a "stand," nestling the stuffed bell pepper in the foil.
• Pour about 1 cup of hot water into the baking dish, or just enough to cover the bottom.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is hot. Serve immediately.
