Time 1h40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 cups uncooked instant rice
2 cups water
6 medium green bell peppers - tops, seeds, and membranes removed
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
nonstick cooking spray
8 slices bacon
3 slices fresh pineapple
1 cup tomato sauce
½ cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon soy sauce
¼ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Place chicken in a saucepan and add water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken and set aside to cool slightly.
  • At the same time, stir water and rice together in a pot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer until water is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
  • Cut cooled chicken into 1-inch cubes and place in a bowl with garlic, poultry seasoning, and black pepper; mix together until chicken is coated.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking dish with nonstick spray.
  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and crumble into small pieces when cool enough to handle. Reserve 1 tablespoon bacon grease.
  • Trim and core pineapple slices. Cut into 1/2-inch chunks and reserve any juices.
  • Combine rice, chicken, crumbled bacon, reserved bacon grease, pineapple chunks and juice, tomato sauce, maple syrup, and soy sauce in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly. Spoon mixture into green peppers and sprinkle with Monterey Jack cheese. Place in the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until filling is hot and cheese is melted, about 45 minutes.

The chicken was a little dry, but the peppers and pineapple were delicious. I would recommend cooking the chicken for a shorter amount of time.

This recipe was a little too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less pineapple or adding some spice to balance out the sweetness.
