This is a wonderful recipe that came ouf of an old Better homes and gardens magazine. I say 2-4 servings because I can usually only eat 1/2 of one, however I do not eat large portions. For those who do, this will probably only serve 2.

1 each sweet red, green and yellow pepper
1 tbsp butter
3/4 tsp each salt and pepper
1/2 tsp dried thyme
4 boneless chicken breasts
1/3 cup chicken stock or white wine
1 tsp dijon mustard

  • Prepare the peppers properly: Cut the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and ribs. Rinse the peppers thoroughly and pat them dry.
  • Stuff the peppers evenly: Don't overstuff the peppers, or they will be difficult to cook evenly. Use a spoon to gently pack the stuffing into the peppers.
  • Cook the peppers thoroughly: Bake the peppers at 375°F for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the peppers are tender.
  • Serve the peppers immediately: Stuffed peppers are best served hot, right out of the oven. You can garnish them with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of cheese.
