Why This Recipe Is So Flavorful

Colorful, fresh, and easy to prepare. The mini bell peppers add a sweet crunch that pairs perfectly with the creamy chicken filling. It’s a great option for a light lunch or a tasty appetizer.

Helpful Cooking Tips

- Use cooked chicken that is shredded or finely chopped for the best texture.
- Choose mini bell peppers that are firm and brightly colored for extra visual appeal.
- Chill the peppers and filling before assembling to keep everything crisp and fresh.

Directions

Combin the chicken, jalapeno pepper, and two of the green onions with the mayonnaise in a bowl. Give everything a good mix until it’s all well blended. Next, take each mini bell pepper half and fill it generously with the chicken mixture. In a separate bowl, stir together the cottage cheese and half of the remaining green onion. Use the rest of the green onion to sprinkle on top of the stuffed peppers for a fresh touch. Serve the mini peppers alongside the cottage cheese mix and some cherries for a sweet contrast. Enjoy!

Perfect Side Pairings

Serve these on a platter with some fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for garnish. They also go well with a side of mixed greens or a simple vinaigrette to balance the richness.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftover chicken filling in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Keep the mini bell peppers separate and fill them just before serving to prevent sogginess.
