Chicken in a Pepper

Chicken in a pepper

So peppers were a buck apiece last week and chicken thighs were on sale too. Regular stuffed peppers aren’t high on my list of things to eat, but these were pretty darn tasty.  They looked pretty too.

Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cloves minced garlic
2 Tbs pesto
2 flat bottomed bell peppers

Directions

Combine the oil, garlic and pesto and toss into a plastic bag. Add the chicken and marinate in the fridge for up to an hour.

Cut the tops off the peppers. Remove the ribs and seeds and brush the insides with a bit of oil, then season with salt and pepper.  Take the chicken from the marinade and roll up jelly roll style. Stuff two thighs into each pepper and place in a baking pan.

Bake at 350 until chicken is done--about 45-50 minutes.

Serve with rice (fried would be extra nice) and sauted veggies.
