Red bell peppers are everything. Seriously, they’re so good. I’ll eat them raw, I’ll eat them cooked. I’ll eat them inside, with a book. (HA! Take that, Dr. Seuss).
The funny thing is, I used to not like them. Something about red bell pepper could ruin my whole dinner (this might have to do with the Lean Cuisine phase I went through, where it seems like every meal they make has red bell peppers in it!). But whatever it was, it’s gone now.
I can eat these babies all day long.
Which is a good thing, because they are a fantastic option if you’re on the 21 Day Fix.
I needed to make something for lunch that used up some chicken, green onions, and our last bell pepper, and that is how these 21 Day Fix Stuffed Bell Peppers came to be. Also – I wanted to get a full green and a full red in with one meal. AND…I had goat cheese. #goatcheeseforlife
Be sure to pin it for later!
21 Day Fix Stuffed Bell Peppers
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Serves 2 – each serving is one full pepper/two halves
Ingredients:
- 2 bell peppers
- 1 cup tomatoes, diced (canned is fine, just drain off the extra water first)
- 1.5 cups shredded or diced chicken (leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken is perfect for this recipe)
- .5 cup goat cheese
- 2T green onions, diced
- salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
Heat oven to 350.
Cut peppers in half, cut out the seeds, and set aside.
In a bowl, mix tomatoes, chicken and green onion. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
Put the peppers on a rimmed baking sheet or oven-safe dish. Scoop the chicken and tomato mixture into the pepper halves. Crumble the goat cheese evenly over the peppers. Bake for 30 minutes. Your oven might be different than mine, so keep an eye on them – the peppers should be a little soft and the goat cheese will be soft with maybe a little browning on top.
Let these bad boys cool off for 5-10 minutes, then enjoy!
