Instructions
Creating Teriyaki Pineapple Chicken Stuffed Peppers is easy when you follow these straightforward steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Peppers: Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Place them upright in a baking dish.
3. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. When hot, add the diced chicken and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Add Flavorings: Stir in the minced garlic and shredded carrots. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
5. Combine Ingredients: In the skillet, add the cooked rice, diced pineapple, teriyaki sauce, and green onions. Mix well until all ingredients are heated through.
6. Season: Taste the mixture and season with salt and pepper as desired.
7. Stuff the Peppers: Spoon the chicken mixture into each bell pepper, packing it tightly.
8. Cover and Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes.
9. Remove the Foil: After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, allowing the tops to brown slightly.
10. Garnish: Once cooked, take the stuffed peppers out of the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired before serving.
With these simple steps, you’ll be ready to impress friends and family with a vibrant and flavorful dish.
