Ingredients
- 4 large yellow bell peppers
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1/2 cup diced pineapple
- 1/4 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1/4 cup green onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Step-by-Step
- Preheat the Oven: First, set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it fully heated by the time your peppers are ready.
- Prepare the Peppers: Slice the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds. This creates the perfect oven-friendly container for our filling.
- Cook the Chicken: In a skillet, brown the ground chicken until fully cooked. Stir in the teriyaki sauce and allow it to simmer with the chicken for a couple of minutes to soak in the flavor.
- Mix the Ingredients: Combine the cooked rice, diced pineapple, shredded carrots, and green onions in a bowl. Add the chicken mixture and stir until everything is well combined.
- Stuff the Peppers: Spoon the mixture into the prepared peppers. Place them upright in a baking dish to ensure even cooking.
- Bake to Perfection: Pop the dish into the oven for 25-30 minutes. The peppers should be tender and the filling lightly crisp on top.
- Serve with Flair: Once out of the oven, sprinkle sesame seeds over each pepper for a nutty finish.
