I had some lonely chicken breasts sitting in my refrigerator and I didn't know what to make with it. While browsing the produce section in the grocery store, I came upon the colorful bell pepper section, and I came up with an idea. A southwestern style stuffed bell pepper! The end result of my dish was a colorful and tasty dish that is sure to please!
Ingredients
1 lb. chicken breasts
.5 lb. ground chorizo sausage
7 oz can salsa
10.5 oz can corn
Chicken taco seasoning package
4 bell peppers of assorted colors (red, orange, and yellow)
Shredded cheddar cheese.
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°.
Cut off top of peppers and remove the seeds. Blanch in boiling water for 5 minutes, then rinse in cold water.
Cut chicken into small pieces. Cook on stove top according to the directions on the taco seasoning package. When finished cooking and seasoning, drain corn and add to chicken, then set aside.
Sauté the chorizo until well cooked throughout. Add chicken & corn mixture, and add the salsa. Mix well.
Place 1 tbsp. of cheese to bottom of peppers, then fill with chicken/chorizo mixture. Top with more cheese.
Bake in oven for 15-20 minutes.
