Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large bell peppers (any color)
- 1 lb (450 g) ground chicken
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 cup shredded cheese (such as mozzarella or cheddar)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Drizzle the outside with olive oil and place them upright in a baking dish.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add ground chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.

- Spoon the chicken and pineapple mixture into each bell pepper, packing it down gently.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top of each stuffed pepper. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
