Peppers stuffed with Chicken feta apple and wild rice

I was on this awsome kick of making things Ive never had before....I made this amazing turkey meatloaf, but I didnt document it at all, so its not up here yet.

BUT. I did document this loverly dish.

Red bell peppers stuffed with ground chicken, feta cheese, green apple, and wild rice.

Oh yes it is good.

2 large red bell peppers

1 lg chicken breast, ground up

1 medium green apple, diced

1/2 c crumbled feta cheese

1/2 a carrot, shredded

2 tbs fresh Parsley

1/2 stalk celery, minced

1 medium onion, diced

salt and pepper

1 box wild rice pilaf



Go ahead and cook your rice according to the directions on the box, and set aside.


Cut the tops off the peppers, and scoop out the ribs and seeds. Slice of the bottom part of the top part of the pepper...that you already cut off...ya know? So now youve got an empty pepper to be filled, and a lid.


Cut up the veggies and combine with 1 cup of the rice, the feta and the chicken together in a bowl, mixing well. Once your mixed, spoon large amounts of the meat mixture into the peppers, stuffing well, since the veggies will lose all of their water during the cooking process, and shrink.


Using toothpicks to keep the peppers standing upright, place peppers in your baking dish. You can put the pepper lids directly onto the pan, theyre only for presentation. Drizzle with a little olive oil and cook in a 350 oven for, lets say, 25-30 minutes, checking to make sure the chicken is no longer pink!

Serve with the remaining wild rice!
