What do you need?

Quantity: 4P

For the stuffed peppers:
4 large bell peppers
800 g chicken mince (mixed mince can also be used)
1 zucchini (yellow or green), grated
4 handfuls of grated cheese
1 egg
3 tbsp breadcrumbs
1 tsp chicken spices

Preparation method

How do you make this?

Preparing the zucchini: Grate the zucchini and sprinkle a pinch of salt over it. Mix well and let it rest for 10 minutes. Then squeeze out the excess moisture.

Preparing the mince: In a bowl, mix the mince with the chicken spices, egg, 3 handfuls of grated cheese, breadcrumbs, and the well-squeezed zucchini. Season with pepper and salt. Divide the mince mixture into 4 portions.

Filling the peppers: Cut off the top part of the peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Fill each pepper with the mince mixture. Place the 'lids' back on the peppers and place them in a baking dish.

Assembling the casserole: Sprinkle the orzo around the stuffed peppers in the baking dish. Add the chicken broth and cherry tomatoes and stir briefly.

Baking: Sprinkle the peppers with the remaining grated cheese. Bake the dish for about 35 minutes in a preheated oven at 180°C, until the peppers are soft and the orzo is cooked.

Serving: Remove the dish from the oven and serve immediately. Enjoy the delicious flavors!

Tips

If you do not have a chopping chicken, use half-to-half minced meat. Add extra vegetables, such as carrot or spinach, to make the filling even more nutritious. For an extra taste boost you can mix some fresh herbs such as basil or parsley through the Orzo just before serving.
