Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 Bell Peppers Orange, Red, Green, or Yellow
- 1 lb Ground Chicken
- 1 cup Orzo
- 1 ½ cups Tomato Sauce Your favorite jarred variety
- 1 ½ cups Shredded Mozzarella
Instructions
- Wash the peppers and cut them in half. Remove the stem and seeds. Place the peppers in a baking dish, cut side up. Bake the peppers for 15 minutes.
- While the peppers are baking, cook the orzo according to package instructions.
- Place the ground chicken in a saute pan and saute until completely cooked and no longer pink.
- When the orzo is done cooking, drain the orzo completely and add it to the saute pan with the ground chicken.
- Add 1 cup of tomato sauce to the saute pan and stir to combine.
- Take the peppers out of the oven and spoon the orzo mixture into each of the peppers.
- Top each pepper with a spoonful of tomato sauce. Add ¼ cup of mozzarella cheese to each pepper.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use your favorite variety of tomato sauce. My favorite jarred sauce is Botticelli, but if you have some leftover homemade sauce, that would work!
- Mozzarella slices, provolone slices, and American cheese can be substituted for shredded mozzarella.
- Prebaking the peppers ensures they are cooked all the way through and are not raw when you are serving them.
