Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Slice peppers in half and remove the seeds and membrane. Place in a 9x13 baking dish.
- Add chicken, cream cheese, monterey jack, cheddar, jalapeno, cumin, salt, and salsa to a medium mixing bowl and stir well to combine.
- Spoon chicken mixture evenly into each halved pepper.
- Cover tightly with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
- Serve immediately, topped with cilantro and sour cream if desired.
Notes
- We prefer red bell peppers, but any color will work fine.
- Shredded, chopped, or ground cooked chicken will work well here.
- You can leave out the jalapeno or swap in diced green chiles, if you'd like a more mild filling.
