Preheat oven to 375°F, and prepare the peppers by cutting them in half lengthwise and removing the seeds and membrane; set aside in a baking dish cut side up.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and saute until they start to soften, about 2-3 minutes.

Add garlic, chicken, chili powder, cumin and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Add rice, cilantro, lime juice, and stir together until heated through, about 2 minutes.

Spoon the cooked chicken and rice mixture into the cut pepper halves, filling them to the top. Pour water into the baking dish to fill the bottom, being careful not to pour any water on the peppers.

Chicken Fajita Stuffed Peppers

How to make the best stuffed peppers with ground beef, rice, and cheese. A quick and easy stuffed pepper recipe you can make ahead. Healthy!

Stuffed Peppers

large bell peppers

beef (or swap

onion

Italian seasoning

garlic powder

salt

black pepper

spinach

fire-roasted diced tomatoes

brown rice

shredded pepper jack cheese (or additional cheddar)

For serving: chopped fresh parsley or cilantro

Slice

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Slice the bell peppers in half from top to bottom down through the stem. Remove the seeds and membranes, then arrange cut side up in the prepared baking dish.

Heat a Dutch oven or similar deep, wide skillet over medium-high. Add the beef and onion. With a wooden spoon or spatula, break the meat into small pieces. Cook and stir until the meat is browned and fully cooked and the onion is tender, about 7 minutes. Drain off any excess fat.

Stir

Stir in the Italian seasoning, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let cook for 30 seconds.

Spinach

Stir in the spinach a few handfuls at a time, cooking until it wilts down; this will take between 1 and 2 minutes.

Tomatoes

Pour in the can of diced tomatoes along with the juices. Let simmer for 1 minute.

Remove

Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the rice (or your grain of choice), 1/4 cup of the cheddar, and 1/4 cup of the pepper jack. Taste and add additional salt and/or pepper as desired.

Filling

With a spoon, mound the filling inside the peppers, then top with the remaining cheeses. The peppers will be very full.

Pour

Pour a bit of water into the pan with the peppers—just enough to scantly cover the bottom of the pan. I like to put the water in a liquid measuring cup, then carefully pour it around the outside (be careful not to pour it into the peppers themselves).

Bake the stuffed peppers uncovered for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted. Top with parsley or cilantro. Serve hot.
