Chicken Parm Stuffed Peppers
This is delicious! This is a great alternative to regular stuffed peppers. Not a $1 per serving meal due to the cheese used, but is certainly worth it. I made this on 1 June 2017 Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 3-4 bell peppers, any colors, halved, seeded
- 3-4 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless, cubed
- 3 cups Mozzarella Cheese, shredded, divided
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 3 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
- 1 1/2 cups pasta sauce, OR make from a shortcut
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- pinch red pepper flakes
- 1/2 cup chicken stock, fresh or from powder
- salt and pepper, to taste
- olive oil as needed
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200 C (390 F). Get out a 9x13 baking dish.
- Heat a skillet with a splash of olive oil and add the cubed chicken, season with salt and pepper as desired.
- Cook until just cooked through for tender chicken, drain any oil, I use a colander for this and just let the chicken sit in the colander until it is needed.
- Cut bell peppers in half and remove the stem and seeds. Place in a 9x13 baking dish, fit them in there tight.
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups Mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, pasta sauce, parsley, and red pepper flakes, and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Stir until combined, then gently fold in chicken.
- Spoon chicken mixture into halved bell peppers and sprinkle with remaining 1 cup Mozzarella cheese.
- Pour chicken broth into baking dish to help the peppers steam and cover the dish with foil.
- Bake until peppers are tender, about 1 hour. Uncover and broil 2 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and Parmesan cheese, serve.
Notes
Chicken will cost about 75 Baht/kilo, that should be 5-6 breasts, get a kilo and use the rest in another recipe. The Mozzarella will cost about 280 Baht for two 200 gram blocks. For 4 servings, this is about $2.60 per serving.
Shortcut: Pasta Sauce.
