 Chicken Stuffed Pepper |
Cut the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds. In a bowl combine the eggs, salsa, chicken, bread crumbs and rice. Spook into peppers. Coat a 13 x 9 x 2 dish and a 8 inch square pan with don-stick cooking spray. Spread 1 cup spaghetti sauce on the bottom of the large pan and ½ cup of sauce on the bottom of the small ban. Place peppers in the sauce. Spoon the remain sauce over the peppers. Cover and bake at 350 for 60 minutes or until the peppers are tender. Turn off the oven. Just before removing from oven sprinkle the cheese over the top of each pepper and let sit in the oven until melted.
