    2. 1 lb ground chicken

    3. 1 cup cooked rice (white, brown, or jasmine)

    4. 1 cup diced pineapple (fresh or canned)

    5. ½ cup teriyaki sauce

    6. 2 garlic cloves, minced

    7. 1 teaspoon grated ginger

    8. ½ teaspoon salt

    9. ¼ teaspoon black pepper

    10. ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

For Garnish:

      • Chopped green onions

      • Sesame seeds

Tools Needed:

    1. Large skillet

    2. Cutting board and knife

    3. Baking dish

    4. Mixing spoon

    5. Measuring cups and spoons

    6. Foil

Instructions

  • Prepare the Bell Peppers: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the bell peppers in half, remove the seeds, and set aside.

  • Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the ground chicken and cook, breaking it apart, until fully cooked and browned.

  • Add Flavor: Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, teriyaki sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

  • Mix with Rice and Pineapple: Add the cooked rice and diced pineapple to the skillet. Stir to combine and heat through for about 3–4 minutes.

  • Stuff the Peppers: Place the bell pepper halves in a baking dish. Stuff each half with the chicken, rice, and pineapple mixture. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.

  • Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5–10 minutes until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

 

  • Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Gluten-Free Option: Make sure to use a gluten-free teriyaki sauce if needed.

  • Substitutions: You can swap ground chicken with turkey or even ground beef if preferred.

 

  • Make Ahead: You can prepare the stuffing ahead of time and store it in the fridge. Just stuff the peppers and bake when ready.
