Get Started with These Essential Ingredients

• 5 large red bell peppers
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium white onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 pound ground chicken
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1 1/2 cups cooked rice
• 1 medium carrot, grated
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 cup frozen corn
• 5 ounces crumbled feta, plus more for topping
• 1 tablespoon flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped

Easy Steps to Prepare Your Stuffed Peppers

1. Preheat and Prep: Heat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Peppers: Use a paring knife to cut a wide circle around each bell pepper stem, removing seeds and membranes from the interior.
3. Sauté the Onion and Garlic: Warm the oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and cook until translucent, then add the garlic and cook until fragrant.
4. Cook the Chicken and Add Flavorings: Push the onion mixture to the side of the pan, reduce the heat to medium low, and add the ground chicken. Cook until the chicken is completely done, then add the tomato paste, cooked rice, grated carrot, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and corn. Stir to combine and let cool.
5. Assemble and Bake: Evenly divide the filling among the peppers, packing them full, and arrange them upright on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the tops with feta and bake until the filling is heated through and the peppers are soft, about 25 to 30 minutes.
