For the Bells

For the Optional Cheese

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Add in shredded chicken, teriyaki sauce, pineapple, ground ginger, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook this mixture for 5-6 minutes before stirring in the cooked rice.
  • Gently fill each bell pepper with the chicken and rice mixture, pressing down lightly to pack.
  • Drizzle the tops with a bit of olive oil for flavor.
  • Cover the stuffed peppers with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes. For a crispier top, remove the foil for the last 5 minutes.
  • If using cheese, sprinkle on top of each pepper in the final 5 minutes of baking.
  • Allow the stuffed peppers to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For added flavor, garnish with more pineapple chunks or sliced green onions. Optional sesame seeds can also be added for crunch.
