Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 8

Ingredients

2 cups diced cooked chicken
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup packed grated sharp cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces)
3/4 cup tomato sauce
1 4-ounce can chopped mild green chilies
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
8 yellow or green bell peppers

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Combine first 8 ingredients in medium bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

    Step 2

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Cut around stem of each bell pepper and remove, creating large opening at top. Scoop out seeds. Divide filling among peppers (about 1/2 cup each). Replace tops of peppers. Stand peppers in shallow casserole. Bake until filling is cooked through and peppers are tender, about 50 minutes. Serve immediately.
