Stuffed Bell Peppers with Creamy Chicken

Main Course, Recipes heelsandspices
bell peppers, tomatoes, roasted

Stuffed bell peppers is a dish that brings me fond memories from my childhood.

I told you before that traditional Portuguese food is humble and often picks up ingredients that were cheap and seasonally available.

These stuffed bell peppers are based on a traditional recipe from my family, but with my own variation.

The original recipe was made with green peppers and ground (2nd grade) beef. Mine is elevated, and uses red peppers, ground chicken, and a creamy tomato sauce.

It is a very filling dish, and I prefer to eat it with a simple green leaf salad, or a tomato and oregano salad.

I do hope you like it. If you try let me know please!

Enjoy and be happy (very)!

  • De-seed and clean the inside of the bell peppers

  • Pre-heat the oven to 180º C
  • In a pan add 1 tbsp of olive oil, the garlic, onion and seasoning and gently fry until the onion is soft and translucid
  • Add the tomato and let it simmer for 5 minutes, adding a tbsp of hot water if it becomes too dry
  • Add the ground chicken and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently
  • Turn off the heat, add the cream and chopped parsley, and adjust the seasoning
  • In an oven proof dish arrange the bell peppers side to side
  • Fill them with the chicken mix and drizzle the dish with the remaining olive oil

As it is a rich dish, I like to eat it with a simple salad
