Time 1h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

¾ cup uncooked brown rice
1 ½ cups water
1 pound ground turkey
3 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 large egg
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon dried basil
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon dried parsley
4 medium green bell peppers

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Rinse rice and place in a saucepan. Add water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is partially cooked, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir turkey in the hot skillet until partially cooked and crumbly, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
  • Add cooked rice, tomato sauce, egg, Worcestershire sauce, red pepper flakes, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, basil, oregano, and parsley; mix thoroughly.
  • Remove the tops of the peppers and scoop out the insides. Arrange peppers, hollowed-sides up, in a deep baking dish. Slice the bottoms of the peppers if necessary to help them stand upright. Spoon turkey mixture into each pepper and place any extra in the dish around the peppers. Cover with foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until turkey and rice are cooked through and filling is hot, about 50 minutes.

SPICY CHICKEN STUFFED BELL PEPPERS

My DH created this delicious recipe. It's a great alternative to ground beef stuffed peppers. This recipe serves 8-10 people.

Provided by Jennifer K.

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h5m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 (10 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chilies
14 ounces tomato sauce
2 (1 1/4 ounce) packets taco seasoning
12 ounces taco sauce
1 medium onion, diced
2 (2 1/4 ounce) cans black olives, diced
2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
4 -5 large bell peppers, green, red, yellow (I like red!)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Boil chicken in a large pot until no longer pink.
  • When chicken is done, shred with fork and place in a large skillet with diced tomatoes and green chilies and diced onion. Cook over medium heat until onions are translucent.
  • Add tomato sauce, taco seasoning, olives and taco sauce.
  • Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes.
  • Slice bell peppers in half lengthwise. Remove seeds. Place on cookie sheet, cut side down, and bake in oven for 10-12 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and drain any juice from peppers.
  • Fill pepper halves with chicken mixture. Cover with shredded Mexican cheese.
  • Bake at 350°F for approximately 40-45 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bell peppers: Select bell peppers that are firm, have a deep color, and are about the same size. This will ensure that they cook evenly and hold their shape.
  • Prepare the bell peppers properly: Cut the bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and ribs. This will create a cavity for the stuffing.
  • Make sure the chicken is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the chicken has reached 165°F (74°C). This will ensure that the chicken is safe to eat.
  • Don't overstuff the bell peppers: The stuffing should fill the bell peppers without being too tightly packed. This will allow the rice to cook properly.
  • Bake the bell peppers at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust on the outside of the peppers and prevent them from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Spicy Chicken Stuffed Bell Peppers is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken and vegetables, and it can be easily tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your bell peppers mild or spicy, this recipe is sure to please. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give these stuffed bell peppers a try.
