Ingredients
Scale
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 4 medium fresh bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper; cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and shred once slightly cooled.
- In the same skillet, sauté chopped onions and minced garlic for about two minutes until fragrant. Stir in shredded chicken, cooked rice, and soy sauce until well combined.
- Slice the tops off the bell peppers and remove seeds. Generously stuff each pepper with the chicken mixture.
- Place stuffed peppers upright in the baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for approximately 25 minutes. For added caramelization, uncover during the last five minutes.
