How to Make It

Quick, easy, healthy, delicious – this weeknight dinner really has it all.

1. Preheat. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Place the peppers. Place the peppers, cut side up, in a baking dish coated with cooking spray. Set aside.
3. Create the stuffing. In a large bowl, combine the rice, chicken, spinach, cheese, olives tomatoes, olive oil, vinegar, basil, oregano, salt and pepper.
4. Stuff the peppers. Stir the mixture until well blended and spoon the mixture into the peppers. Place the tops of the peppers on the filling and transfer to the oven.
5. Bake the peppers. Bake the peppers for 40-45 minutes or until the peppers have softened.
6. Enjoy! Sprinkle the peppers with the remaining feta cheese and serve immediately.

Storing Greek Chicken Stuffed Bell Peppers

These stuffed peppers make incredible leftovers! The best part is that they actually reheat fairly well in the microwave, too – so if you’re bringing one with you to work for lunch, you’re in for a real treat.

To keep these stuffed peppers fresh, keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for about 2-3 days. I don’t recommend freezing them.

Tips for the Best Greek Chicken Stuffed Bell Peppers

• While you can use another type of ground meat instead of chicken, I do recommend sticking with the chicken. It has the most neutral flavor that allows the other bold ingredients to really stand out.
• Leftover roasted chicken or a grocery rotisserie chicken make this recipe even easier to throw together.
• Measure the rice accordingly! If you add too much, there might not be enough moisture for it all and it won’t cook through.
• Make sure you drain the sun-dried tomatoes well before adding them to the stuffing mixture. If they’re too oily, it’ll compromise the consistency of the stuffing.
• Try to use the best quality olive oil that you can! The flavor will really shine through in a tasty way if it’s a good quality olive oil.
