Ingredients

  • 4 bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 package of Let’s Blend Italian mushrooms
  • 1 ½ cups marinara sauce, divided into 1 cup and 1/2 cup
  • 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Slice the peppers in half and remove the seeds. Place them cut side up in a casserole dish. Add 1/2 cup chicken broth to the bottom of the casserole dish.
  • Heat a large skillet to medium high. Spray it with a quick pop of cooking spray, then add ground chicken and Let’s Blend mushrooms. Sauté until chicken is fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes.
  • Stir 1 cup of marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese into the skillet. Remove from heat.
  • Scoop the chicken filling into the pepper halves. Top with the remaining half cup of marinara sauce, the with the parmesan cheese.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 40-50 minutes, until peppers are tender. Enjoy!

Notes

Notes:
  • The chicken broth is simply to help the peppers cook in the steam that forms when there is foil on top in the oven. You can use water or tomato sauce instead if you don’t have stock on hand.
  • This makes 4 servings, where each serving equals two pepper halves.
