Ingredients
  

  • 2 Lbs Boneless & Skin-less Chicken Breast diced
  • 1/2 Large Yellow Onion diced
  • 3 Tbsps. Olive Oil
  • 1/2 Tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 Tsp Sea Salt
  • 1/2 Tbsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 Tbsp Onion Powder
  • 3 Tbsps. Cream Cheese
  • 1 Tbsps Taco Seasoning (from packet)
  • 1 Can Green Chiles (do not drain)
  • 1 Cup Red Enchilada Sauce
  • 4 XL Green Bell Peppers
  • 3/4 Cups Mexican Blend Cheese

Instructions
 

  • Cut the tops off of the bell peppers, remove the seeds and stem, add to a large pot of boiling water, and cook until slightly soft. 
  • Dice chicken breast. Add the chicken to a frying pan with olive oil and chopped onion. Sprinkle black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, minced onion, and sea salt on top.
  • Once the chicken is fully cooked, add the taco seasoning.
  • Mix in the can of chiles and cream cheese.
  • Stir in 1/4 cup of red enchilada sauce. Give the mixture a taste test and determine if it needs any more seasoning. I usually add extra black pepper or garlic powder if it needs it.
  • Slice the cooked bell peppers in half. Lay them on a greased baking dish.
  • Fill the bell peppers with the enchilada filling. (Approximately 1 cup per pepper half.)
  • Preheat oven to 400.
  • Top bell peppers with cheese. 
  • Pour the remainder of the enchilada sauce over the bell peppers. 
  • Bake until the cheese is completely melted and slightly crispy. 
  • Let the bell peppers cool for ten minutes before serving!
