Ingredients

– 4 large poblano peppers
– 1 pound ground chicken
– 1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
– 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
– 1 cup corn, frozen or canned (drained)
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– ½ teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
– ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
– 1 small onion, diced
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Sour cream and lime wedges for serving (optional)

Instructions

Crafting Chicken Stuffed Poblano Peppers is straightforward and can be done in a few simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for baking.
2. Prepare Peppers: Cut the tops off the poblano peppers and remove the seeds. Set them aside.
3. Cook Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent.
4. Add Chicken: Add ground chicken to the skillet and cook until browned. Season with salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder.
5. Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine cooked chicken mixture, cooked rice, black beans, corn, half of the shredded cheese, and cilantro. Mix until well combined.
6. Stuff Peppers: Generously fill each poblano pepper with the chicken mixture, pressing down gently to pack it in.
7. Arrange in Baking Dish: Place the stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish. If they won’t stand, you can slice a small portion off the bottom to create a flat surface.
8. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top of each pepper.
9. Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the peppers are tender and the cheese is bubbly.
10. Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
