Ingredients

  • 8 Bell Peppers
  • 1 Tbsp 16g Olive Oil
  • 1 lb Ground Chicken 97/3
  • 1 Tbsp Cavender's Greek Seasoning*
  • 1 packet Right Rice**
  • 1 1/2 C Water
  • 1/2 large 150g Red Onion, chopped
  • 1 150g Zucchini, cut into small cubes
  • 6 oz Cherry Tomatoes***
  • 1 small handful Fresh Mint Leaves minced
  • 1 small handful Fresh Dill minced
  • 4 oz Crumbled Feta
  • Juice and Zest of 1 Lemon

Instructions

  • Cut the peppers in half through the stem and remove any seeds and membranes. Place on a half sheet pan and roast in a 425ºF oven for 20- 25 minutes while you prep the filling. The peppers should be mostly tender before filling.
  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat before adding the chicken. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Brown both sides and fully cook the chicken.
  • Add the Greek seasoning and water, bringing to a boil. Add the Right Rice, cover, and turn off the heat. Leave covered for at least 10 minutes while the rice absorbs the water and you prep the remaining veggies. (There shouldn't be any water remaining in the chicken and rice.)
  • Mix the remaining ingredients in a large bowl, including the ground chicken and rice.
  • Add the filling to the peppers and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the tomatoes begin to wrinkle and the edges of the peppers slightly brown. Serve with parsley, lemon wedges, feta, Kalamata olives, if desired.

Notes

*You can use other Greek seasonings or make your own. Just season to taste before filling the peppers to adjust as needed.
**Right Rice is a chickpea and lentil based rice alternative. You can use comparable products like Banza rice or Trader Joe's Risoni, or any quick cooking rice. You may need to adjust the amount of water used for other rice options. You can also add cooked rice or cooked cauliflower rice straight in with the veggies and cooked chicken before stuffing the peppers.
***If you're using large cherry or grape tomatoes, you can slice them in half to make for easier eating.
