Description
A flavorful dish blending savory chicken, sweet pineapple, and aromatic seasonings, all packed inside vibrant bell peppers.
Ingredients
- 4 bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
- 1 pound chicken breast, diced
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds. Place them in a baking dish, cut side up.
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the cooked rice, pineapple chunks, teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, green onions, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and well combined.
- Spoon the chicken and rice mixture generously into each bell pepper until they are filled to the brim.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes, allowing the peppers to soften.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to achieve a slightly charred top.
- Garnish with sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
Use ripe pineapple for sweetness. Customize bell peppers based on preference.
