Felicity's Chicken Stuffed Red Bell Peppers

There are lots of recipes for stuffed peppers, this is mine. I served these with my garlicky grilled chicken. If you wanted to serve them as a main course, you could decrease the rice & use more meat in the filling. You could also use lamb or beef as a change from chicken. I have suggested using spices to taste, because you can vary it depending on your mood or the theme of your meal. I used oregano, but you could use harissa or cumin for a middle eastern flavor or chilli for some heat... It's up to you to make my dish yours :-) enjoy!!

Steps

Cut the top off the peppers and remove the insides.
Chop onion , carrot , celery and garlic very finely.
Cook vegetables in butter until soft.
Combine vegetables , rice , chicken and cheese.
Season to taste.
Fill peppers with this mixture , pressing down as you go to ensure they are well stuffed.
Place peppers in a covered casserole and cook in a 180c oven until peppers are soft , approximately 60-90minutes.
To speed the cooking process , microwave the peppers for a couple of minutes before filling.
Once they are soft , sprinkle with additional cheese and broil until tops are golden.
Serve hot or warm as a side dish , appetiser or light lunch.
