Author:
Recipe type: Dinner
Ingredients
  • 3 large, or 4 small Bell Peppers, any color (I used Orange, Yellow and Red as those are my favorite.)
  • 3 chicken breasts (or 1.5 lbs of chicken) cooked and shredded
  • 2 cups of Wild Rice (or you can use 1 box of Uncle Ben’s Wild Rice Original Mix), cooked
  • 1 can of corn, drained
  • ⅓ cup of basil pesto
  • ½ cup of Plain Yogurt
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 -1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
  1. In small bowl, mix together shredded chicken and pesto. Set aside.
  2. In a medium sized bowl, combine cooked rice, corn, salt, pepper, yogurt, and ¾ cup of cheese. Add pesto/chicken mixture to the rice mixture and mix well.
  3. Slice each pepper down the center (lengthwise) and remove the seeds and stem.
  4. Arrange peppers open side up and fill with your chicken/rice mixture. You’ll want to make sure they are pretty stuffed and filled to the top. Sprinkle desired amount of cheese on top and bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
