Cheesy Chicken and Rice Stuffed Peppers Recipe

We love stuffed peppers. They're so easy and tasty. This stuffed peppers dish is made with chicken instead of ground beef. Perfect for a slightly lighter dish or if you don't eat beef (like me).

Cheesy Chicken and Rice Stuffed Peppers Recipe

Ingredients

  • 8 green bell peppers, tops removed and cored, ready to fill (reserve tops and dice to cook in sausage)
  • 2 cups of white rice, prepared as directed
  • 1 lb. chicken breakfast sausage (I used Isernio’s), cooked and drained
  • 1 tsp. red chili pepper flakes
  • 1 15-oz. can diced tomatoes, drained
  • 2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese (I used Tillamook)

Directions

  1. Prepare rice as directed.
  2. Line oven safe 9×13 baking pan with empty bell pepper boats while rice is cooking.
  3. Cook chicken sausage until fully cooked; drain fat.
  4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.Cheesy Chicken and Rice Stuffed Peppers Recipe
  5. Combine cooked rice, cooked sausage, red pepper flakes, drained diced tomatoes, and 1 cup of the cheese mixture until evenly combined. Stuff bell pepper boats with mixture. Top bell pepper boats with remaining cheese.
  6. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes, checking after 20 minutes to make sure your cheese is melting but not burning.

Makes 8 stuffed pepper boats.

    I love stuffed peppers and usually make them with ground beef – I never thought of making it with chicken. I will try it next time peppers are on sale.

    I am thinking this would still be delicious in a vegetarian version – subbing in black beans or mushrooms for the chicken. Thanks for sharing!

      You could definitely make it a vegetarian option pretty easily. Beans or mushrooms would work. Maybe tofu, too?

    I bet these would also be great the next day when all of the flavors develop even more fully.

    I can follow most recipes that use 13×9 dish @ 350′. Thanks for sharing a recipe that we regular mom’s can try. Not too fancy.

    Sounds delicious and easy to make. Some onions and garlic would add that extra zing.

    P.S. Extra points for using Tillamook. Their best cheese is their Extra Sharp Cheddar. More expensive but well worth it.
