Bell Peppers:
- 4 large yellow bell peppers
Chicken & Rice Filling:
- 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, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Prepare the Bell Peppers: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut the tops off the yellow bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Place them in a baking dish and set aside.
- Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the ground chicken and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until fully cooked and browned, about 6–8 minutes.
- Combine the Filling: Stir the cooked chicken into the skillet with the teriyaki sauce, cooked rice, diced pineapple, shredded carrots, green onions, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Stuff the Peppers: Spoon the chicken and rice mixture into each bell pepper, pressing down gently to pack the filling in tightly.
- Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25–30 minutes, until the peppers are tender.
- Garnish and Serve: Once the peppers are cooked, remove them from the oven and garnish with sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
