🫑 Green Peppers 🫑

QVCkitty1 — Sun, 11 May 2025 17:56:11 GMT

I have ways loved green peppers, but lately I've been sort of craving them. I use them in salad, spaghetti sauce, Spanish rice, and of course stuffed peppers. If any of you have a recipe that features green peppers , would you care to share it ?

Slice green peppers thinly, put on frozen pizza.

Saute onions, garlic green peppers, mix with any than mix with hamburger, chicken or pork with tomato paste. My sister stuffs then stuffs green peppers but that's to much work for me.

Also put fresh green peppers in tomato, onion salad with olive oil, oregano and salt.

It sounds like you have made green peppers with lots of dishes.

I like green peppers too! I saute them up with onions for sausage, peppers and onions. I just sear the Italian sausage on both sides, remove, then saute the sliced peppers and onions until they are slightly softened. Then I add the sausage back into the pan, cover and continue to cook until the sausages are cooked through.

I also like them on homemade pizza and in fajitas and chili. DH likes them too, and he always takes a sliced pepper to work to munch on. We found out that red peppers have more vitamin C, so he takes red peppers now.

Plant a green pepper plant or two, even in a pot.They're prolific and fun to grow. You can chop up excess and freeze in 1C plastic bags for future use in receipes.

I prefer yellow peppers to green but any color can be added to scrambled eggs along with other veggies.

Mix in with corn & black beans.

EASY SHEET PAN CHICKEN FAJITAS

1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts sliced (against the grain) into 1/2-inch thick strips

3 bell peppers I use green, yellow and red , cored and sliced into strips

1 yellow onion thinly sliced

2 cloves garlic , minced

3 Tablespoons olive oi)

1 lime

1/4 cup fresh cilantro , chopped

8-10 small flour tortillas

Desired fajita toppings: Sour cream, sliced avocado or guacamole, pico de gallo, shredded cheese

**Fajita Seasoning: (*IF YOU DON’T HAVE TIME OR THE INGREDIENTS TO MAKE THIS SEASONING, THEN JUST USE A PACKAGE OF STORE BOUGHT FAJITA OR TACO SEASONING WILL WORK) I most always use the store bought seasoning because it's already made and easier and faster.

1 Tablespoon chili powder

1 1/2 teaspoons paprika

1 1/2 teaspoons cumin

1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon cayenne powder optional
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Light grease a large sheet pan with non-stick cooking spray. Cut chicken and vegetables into strips. Lay the vegetables evenly on the pan and place the chicken on top of them.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Combine seasoning ingredients together in a small bowl. Stir well to combine. Sprinkle most of the seasoning over the chicken, and some of it over the vegetables as well. Spoon minced garlic on top of the chicken and drizzle olive oil over the entire pan. Toss everything well and spread it into an even layer across the pan.

Cook for 15-20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through (165 degrees if you test with a thermometer). Wrap the flour tortillas in foil and place them in the oven to warm during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

Remove everything from the oven. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the chicken and vegetables and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve in warm tortillas with extra toppings, if desired.

Desired fajita toppings: Sour cream, sliced avocado or guacamole, pico de gallo, shredded cheese

I make susage peppers and onions too. I also add tomato sauce and let it simmer for a while. This makes a a great sausage sandwitch.

I also cook peppers, onions and tomato sauce together. This makes a great topping for many types of hot sandwitches. I also freeze in zip lock bags for use other.

@Carmie. I make that too but I add a large can of hominy to the mixture and eat without bread.

@Kachina624 I'll have to try that. It sounds delicious.

I don't eat bread, so that is a great idea.

I haven't tried this recipe yet, but it looks good. You can use just green peppers or a combo with the other colors.

Chicken Parm Stuffed Peppers

4 large bell peppers
1 + 1/2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or finely chopped
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 cup mozzarella, grated and divided
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup tomato sauce or marinara sauce
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup water (for baking)

Instructions
Preheat oven to 375F.
Cut the peppers in half vertically. Remove and discard the seeds. Place the bell peppers in a 9x13-inch casserole pan or large half sheet baking pan and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add chicken, breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, Parmesan, parsley, oil, tomato sauce, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir well until evenly incorporated.

Fill up each pepper with the chicken filling and top with 1 tablespoonful mozzarella cheese.
Add water to the casserole dish and cover the dish with aluminum foil. This creates steam in the casserole dish when baking, which makes the stuffed peppers tender more quickly.

Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and remove the foil. Continue baking uncovered for 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted.
Let the stuffed peppers rest for 5 minutes before serving.
