So....I knew I wanted to make us stuffed peppers and I also knew that I wanted to keep it healthy...so I knew I would replace beef with chicken but after that, I had to do some more research and ended up throwing these bad boys together and they were YUMMO...my hubby was very excited. They were also filling and that surprised us! I replaced rice with riced cauliflower and you could barely tell the difference...they were delicious and so easy..you need to make them!
Here is how.....
Ingredients:
6 Red/Yellow/Green Peppers (whichever you prefer-we loved Red)
1 tbls. olive oil
1 pound ground chicken
1 white onion, chopped
1 bag of riced cauliflower
1 14.5 ounce can of diced tomatoes
Onion Salt
Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper
Shredded Mozzarella
3/4 Cup Marinara Sauce
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Spray Casserole Dish with Pam
Carve out stems and seeds from peppers and set aside
In a saute pan, add olive oil
Once warm, add in your chicken and season with salt, pepper, onion salt and garlic powder- Brown
Add in onion and saute until translucent- about 5 minutes
Add in diced tomatoes and season more if you like
Then stuff peppers with the filling
Top each pepper with some shredded mozzarella and 1 tbls of marinara sauce
Place remaining marinara in casserole dish
Place peppers on top of the sauce
Bake for 20-25 minutes
