Chef's Essential Tips

Essential Ingredients Selection

Creating Your Masterpiece

Taste Testing:
Before final assembly, taste your filling. Adjust the seasoning if needed, as this is your chance to ensure flavors are to your liking before stuffing the peppers.
Serving Suggestions:
Pair these stuffed peppers with a side of jasmine rice or a crisp salad to create a well-rounded meal. This adds texture and additional flavors to complement the dish.
Freezing for Later:
To freeze, allow the stuffed peppers to cool completely, then wrap individually in plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe container. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
Storing Leftovers:
Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through for a quick meal.
Garnishing:
Garnishing with fresh cilantro or sesame seeds right before serving enhances presentation and adds freshness to the dish. These final touches make a big difference in visual appeal.
Baking Technique:
Covering the stuffed peppers with foil during the first part of baking prevents them from drying out. Remove the foil to allow the cheese to brown and bubble, creating an appealing finish.
Stuffing Peppers:
When filling the bell peppers, use a spoon to pack the mixture snugly. This helps the filling stay put during cooking, ensuring each bite is bursting with flavor.
Balancing Flavors:
The success of this recipe depends on balancing sweet, savory, and tangy flavors. Taste the filling and adjust with additional teriyaki sauce or lime juice as preferred.
Sautéing Technique:
Sautéing the chicken in olive oil over medium heat allows it to brown nicely and develop flavor. Avoid overcrowding the pan, cooking in batches if necessary, for optimal browning.
Dicing Chicken:
Cutting chicken into uniform pieces ensures even cooking and a pleasant bite in every stuffed pepper. Aim for 1/2 to 1-inch cubes to balance tenderness and texture.

Ingredients

For the Chicken Filling:
01
1 lb chicken breast, diced - Choose lean chicken for a healthier option.
02
1 cup fresh pineapple, diced - Adds natural sweetness and vibrant flavor.
03
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce - Provides the signature sweet and savory flavor.
04
2 green onions, chopped - Adds a fresh crunch and mild onion flavor.
05
1/2 cup shredded carrots - Contributes color and a subtle sweetness.
06
1 red bell pepper, diced - Enhances flavor and adds vibrant color.
07
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped - Offers a fresh, herby taste that brightens the dish.
For the Peppers:
08
4 large bell peppers (any color) - The vessel for the delicious filling.
09
1 tablespoon olive oil - Helps to sauté the filling and adds richness.
10
1 teaspoon garlic powder - Enhances the overall umami flavor.
11
Salt and pepper to taste - Essential for balancing the flavors.
12
1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional) - For a melty, comforting finish.

Instructions

01
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that the peppers cook evenly and the cheese melts perfectly if used.
02
Step 2: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breast and cook for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
03
Step 3: Stir in the garlic powder, then add the diced pineapple, teriyaki sauce, chopped green onions, shredded carrots, and diced red bell pepper. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
04
Step 4: Meanwhile, prepare the bell peppers by cutting the tops off and removing the seeds. Place them upright in a baking dish.
05
Step 5: Once the chicken mixture is ready, fill each bell pepper generously with the chicken filling, packing it down slightly.
06
Step 6: If using cheese, sprinkle it generously on top of the filled peppers.
07
Step 7: Cover the baking dish with foil to prevent over-browning. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
08
Step 8: After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
09
Step 9: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
10
Step 10: Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving for an added touch of flavor and presentation.
