Preparation
Gather all of your ingredients before cooking
Prep the Peppers
Preheat oven to 200°C.
Slice peppers in half lengthways and remove seeds.
Place cut-side up in a baking dish.
Cook the Filling
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened.
Add diced chicken and cook until browned.
Stir in Holy Jalapeño seasoning.
Add cooked rice and sweetcorn.
Cook for 2–3 minutes to combine.
Finish with lime juice.
Fill and Bake
Spoon mixture into pepper halves.
Top with grated cheese.
Bake for 20–25 minutes until peppers are tender and cheese melted.
What to Look For at the Finish
The peppers should be soft but still hold their shape. The filling should be hot throughout with lightly golden melted cheese on top. The edges of the peppers should show slight caramelisation.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with sour cream, salsa and fresh coriander. Also works with a simple side salad for a lighter dinner.
