Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
¼ cup water
3 tablespoons chili powder
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons salt
1 pinch ground cumin, or to taste
1 pinch crushed red pepper, or to taste
1 cup cooked rice
½ cup black beans, rinsed and drained
4 large green bell peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded
1 ½ (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes

1 medium avocado, sliced, or to taste
¼ cup sour cream, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 385 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Add chicken; cook and stir until browned and no longer pink in the center, 7 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, and add water and chili powder. Stir in garlic, salt, cumin, and red pepper; let cook for 5 minutes. Add rice and black beans.

Stuff the chicken mixture into the bell pepper halves until slightly overfilled and place open-side up in the tomatoes. Pour remaining crushed tomatoes over the peppers so they are just covered. Sprinkle with Mexican cheese, and cover the pan.
