Recipe of the Week 5/15: Chicken and White Bean Stuffed Peppers
Yields 5 Servings
Ingredients:
2 tsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, minced
1/4 cup cilantro, or parsley
5 bell peppers, red, orange, yellow or green
14 oz shredded cooked chicken breast
3/4 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon adobo seasoning salt, or salt to taste
15.5 oz can white beans, not drained
1/2 cup reduced fat shredded cheddar
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350F.
In a medium skillet, heat oil on medium heat. Add the chopped onions, garlic, cilantro or parsley and red pepper, saute until soft, about a minute.
Add the chicken and season with cumin and adobo. Add beans and 1 to 1-1/2 cups of water and simmer for about 5-10 minutes, until it thickens and the liquid reduces.
Cut the peppers in half removing seeds and stem.
Place peppers in an oven-proof dish. Fill each pepper with 1/3 cup of chicken and bean mixture. Pour about 1/3 cup water or chicken broth in the bottom of the baking dish. (This helps them steam and soften.) Cover tight with foil. Bake 30 minutes, until the peppers are soft.
Remove foil, top with cheese and bake uncovered another 5 minutes, until the cheese melts.
