Grilled Chicken and Quinoa Stuffed Peppers

Fire-Grilled Chicken and Herbed Quinoa in Roasted Pepper Cups

Ingredients:

4 large bell peppers (any color)

1 cup quinoa, rinsed

2 cups water or low-sodium chicken broth

2 grilled chicken breasts, diced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small red onion, finely chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup baby spinach, chopped

½ teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

¼ cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Lemon wedges, for serving

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Slice the tops off the bell peppers and remove seeds and membranes. Lightly brush the insides with olive oil and set aside.

In a saucepan, combine quinoa and water or broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 15–20 minutes until liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.

In a skillet, heat olive oil and sauté red onion for 2–3 minutes. Add garlic, spinach, cherry tomatoes, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes.

Stir in cooked quinoa and diced grilled chicken. Remove from heat and mix in parsley and feta (if using).

Fill bell peppers with the quinoa-chicken mixture and place them upright in a baking dish.

Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake another 5–10 minutes until slightly golden.

Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side.
