Provided by rbotzl01

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 red, orange, or yellow bell peppers
2 chicken breast, cooked and shredded (You could also use a whole rotisserie chicken.)
1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, divided and shredded
1 cup cooked quinoa
1 (6.25-ounce) jar pesto

Steps:

Turn on broiler to high. Place bell peppers under broiler and broil from 5 minutes on each side until skin blisters and begins to turn black. Remove peppers from oven, set aside. Preheat oven to 350°F. In a medium size mixing bowl combine the shredded chicken with 1 cup shredded cheese, the pesto and the quinoa and toss to coat. Once peppers are cool enough to handle, slice in half and remove membranes and seeds. Add a heaping 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture to each pepper and top with cheese. Bake for 10 minutes. Serve immediately.
