Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large bell peppers (red, yellow, or green), tops cut off and seeds removed
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives, chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peppers: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Wash the bell peppers, cut off the tops, and carefully remove the seeds and membranes to create hollow shells ready for stuffing.
  2. Make the stuffing: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, crumbled feta cheese, chopped Kalamata olives, red onion, minced garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. Stuff the peppers: Spoon the chicken mixture evenly into each hollowed bell pepper, packing the filling gently but firmly to maximize the amount in each pepper.
  4. Bake the stuffed peppers: Arrange the stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish. Cover loosely with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until the peppers are tender but still hold their shape and the filling is heated through.
  5. Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm as a hearty main dish or alongside a fresh salad for a complete meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute the cooked chicken for ground chicken if preferred; just sauté it with onions and spices before mixing with the other ingredients.
  • Feel free to add chopped tomatoes or spinach into the stuffing for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • Use sweet bell peppers for a milder taste or hotter varieties like poblano for a spicy twist.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
