This stuffed bell pepper recipe is really delicious! You can use red bell peppers if you like that flavor better. It incorporates your protein, starch, and veggies in one neat package! Brown rice is used for an added nutritional punch.Submitted by: KS76017

Delicious! I was a little hesitant about this, but it was one of the best dinners I've made in a while- and my whole house smells good. I'll CERTAINLY be making it again. I served it over couscous and added mushrooms! - 2/28/09

i browned the chicken, removed from pan... browned onions and squash and added the chicken back to the pan. i also added a touch of parm cheese b4 serving. Very healthy, low cal, hearty and tasty. Thank you. - 3/5/11

Rather complicated to make. I used acorn squash, and peeling it was a nightmare. I would suggest perhaps boiling the squash in the chicken stock before trying to cube it so the skin peels off more easily. Other than that, spectacular meal. My husband couldn't say enough good things about it. - 3/17/09
