Growing up, I couldn't stand peppers. Now they are one of my absolute FAVORITE things to eat! The possibilities of things you can stuff them with are ENDLESS! So, today I'm going to share with you one of my hubby's favorites.
1 GREEN - Pepper
1 YELLOW - Quinoa
1 RED - Shredded Chicken
1 BLUE - Cheese
I make stuffed peppers so often that I forgot to take the ingredients pic. Sorry about that. Don't worry though, this one is super simple and you probably have most of the ingredients on hand since it's mostly flavored with SPICES. If you haven't figured out by now, SPICES are where it's at! You don't need to add fatty things to make things taste good. You can achieve great flavors and delicious meals with S-P-I-C-E-S!
INGREDIENTS: Green peppers, quinoa, shredded chicken, cheese of choice, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt & pepper
DIRECTIONS: Clean/cute peppers. Place one piece of cheese in the bottom of each pepper.
I like making a crockpot of shredded chicken (simply in salt/pepper/chicken broth/garlic/onions) and using it in a variety of ways throughout the week. This is one of those ways! It's already ready to go and doesn't need cook time.
Cook 1 serving of quinoa, add 3-4 cups of shredded chicken, and mix together.
Add all of the spices (to taste)
Bake on 350-375 for 20-30 minutes and ENJOY!
***We had a little bit of marinara left over in our fridge (literally a TINY bit, so I added it to the top of these peppers for looks). You certainly can add marinara if you'd like but don't forget to count it for your containers!
Let me know what you think and your favorite stuff pepper ingredients! I have a Philly Cheesesteak coming to you soon!!!
In Love & Light,
