BBQ Chicken Stuffed peppers (GF)

Eating on the lighter side can sometimes get boring, but it doesn't have to. I have almost completely cut out red meat for the most part and I am still able to make a variety of delicious homemade meals that the family loves.

This dish was definitely a hit even with my picky teenage daughter who isn't a fan of her food "mixing" when vegetables are involved.

Ingredients:

4 Bell Peppers, split down middle lengthwise and seeds removed

2lbs ground chicken breast

1/2 cup diced onion

1 Tbsp minced garlic

1 1/2 tsp salt

1 1/2 tsp black pepper

1 1/2 tsp crushed red chili flakes

1 Tbsp parsley, chopped

8 Tbsp Kraft Hickory BBQ Sauce

75gm Saputo Mozzarellissima Mozzarella cheese, shredded

1. Preheat oven to 350. Place the prepared pepper halves in a 9x13 pan.

2. In a large bowl mix together the ingredients for the meat - chicken, onion, garlic and seasoning/spices. Mix until everything is well combined.

3. Fill each pepper "shell" evenly to the top. Put in oven and bake for about 30mins.

4. Remove from oven and top each pepper with 1 Tbsp of the bbq sauce and top each one with cheese. Return to oven for about 10mins or until cheese is completely melted and it starts to brown slightly.

5. Remove from heat and enjoy with favourite sides. Since this is such a low point dinner option I served mine with rice and corn. Enjoy.
