Ingredients
  

  • ⅔ cup uncooked white rice, or about 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 3 bell peppers, halved horizontally and seeded
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound ground chicken breast
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 small red onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 zucchini diced
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • ½ cup kalamata olives, chopped
  • ½ cup feta cheese, divided, plus more for sprinkling
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • ½ cup water
  • lemon wedges, for serving

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350℉. Cook rice according to package instructions.
  2. Slice each bell pepper horizontally from top to bottom. Discard the stems, remove ribs and seeds from the peppers, and lay them cut-side up in a 9x13 baking dish.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground chicken, salt, and pepper. Cook until no longer pink, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain the excess liquid.
  4. Stir in the Italian seasoning, red onion, garlic, and zucchini. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, chicken mixture, cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, feta, and dill. Stir until well combined.
  6. Stuff the mixture into the peppers and sprinkle the tops with more feta and dill. Pour ½ cup water into the baking dish to help the peppers steam. Cover with foil and bake for 40 to 45 minutes.
  7. Squeeze lemon juice over the top before serving. Enjoy with homemade or store-bought tzatziki sauce.

Notes

Ingredient Swap: I've definitely swapped out the ground chicken for ground turkey before, and it works beautifully, keeping that lean profile.
