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

  1. Preheat the Oven: First, set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it fully heated by the time your peppers are ready.
  2. Prepare the Peppers: Slice the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds. This creates the perfect oven-friendly container for our filling.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Stuff the Peppers: Spoon the mixture into the prepared peppers. Place them upright in a baking dish to ensure even cooking.
  6. 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.
  7. Serve with Flair: Once out of the oven, sprinkle sesame seeds over each pepper for a nutty finish.
