Ingredients
  

  • 4 large bell peppers any color
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes canned or fresh
  • 1/2 cup red onion finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 1/4 cup Kalamata olives pitted and chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Place them upright in a baking dish.
  3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the red onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add the ground chicken to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Stir in the cooked quinoa, diced tomatoes, feta cheese, Kalamata olives, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  6. Spoon the chicken mixture into each bell pepper, packing it down gently.
  7. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the peppers are tender.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
