Gluten-free weeknight dinner: Chicken and cauliflower rice stuffed peppers with Greek yogurt topping.
Ingredients:
  • 3 large green bell peppers - halved, seeded, and membranes removed
  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into strips
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix, divided
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 cup cauliflower rice
  • 1 cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
  • 0.5 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice, or to taste
  • 0.5 teaspoon taco seasoning mix
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to a toasty 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Boil salted water in a large pot, then cook peppers until slightly soft for 6 to 7 minutes. Drain and place on prepared baking sheet.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, sizzle chicken with 1 1/2 tsp taco seasoning until cooked through, around 8 minutes. Shred or chop chicken and place in a bowl.
  • Saute the onion and garlic in the skillet until tender, for about 5 to 10 minutes over medium heat.
  • Combine the onion mixture, black beans, tomato sauce, and cauliflower rice with the chicken in a bowl. Stir in 1 1/2 tablespoons of taco seasoning. Stuff the bell pepper halves with the chicken mixture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until heated through. Top with Cheddar cheese and continue baking for about 5 minutes until cheese is melted.
  • Combine creamy Greek yogurt with fresh cilantro, zesty lime juice, and a hint of taco seasoning in a bowl; drizzle over delicious stuffed peppers.
