2. Cook for 10 minutes over medium heat.
3. Cut the tops off of the peppers; remove the seeds and the white inner fleshy parts (veins).
4. Stuff each pepper with the cooked chicken mixture, sprinkle stuffed peppers with Parmesan cheese and bake at 325°F, until they are brown or the cheese melts.

My husband perferred red pepper better than the green...said it was a little sweeter. Also add a little salt and pepper to the ground chicken. I figured it was about 5 points if you are on WW, but you can only have a half serving.

Tasty, just add a little salt and pepper to taste. Although the picture shows green peppers, red or yellow are much sweeter.

It was surprisingly delicious. I also loved the ginger flavor. I boiled the peppers first to soften. Also I didn't have tomato paste on hand so I used diced tomatoes. I will definitely make this again. I might even add rice like typical stuffed peppers.

Wow, this was delicious! The flavor of the ginger and the tangy tomato paste really gave this dish a bright flavor. (1 6oz. can of tomato paste was just perfect.) I did not alter from the recipe for my portion, but I added 1 cup of shredded mozzerella to the sauce before transferring the mixture to his peppers because he really loves cheese. My husband liked this really well.
It's something different. Yum!
