Ingredients
- 4 bell pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 cup pineapple diced
- 1 tsp garlic minced
- ¼ cup coconut aminos
- 1 tbsp honey optional
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- green onion for garnish, chopped
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground chicken until cooked through.
- Then, add in diced pineapple, minced garlic, coconut aminos, honey and ground ginger to skillet. Stir to combine.
- Cook for 5 minutes on medium low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
- While that cooks, slice peppers in half. Remove seeds. Place peppers on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
- Stuff each pepper with chicken pineapple mixture. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until peppers have softened. For extra crispy peppers, broil on high for 2 minutes.
- Finally, remove pan from oven. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.

Notes
- Ground chicken can be replaced with ground turkey or ground beef.
- Dice pineapple into small pieces.
- Honey adds a great sweetness to the sauce, but feel free to omit it for a sugar free option.
- I used a ginger flavored coconut aminos, but regular works well!
- For peppers that still have some firm texture, bake for 20 minutes. For softer peppers, bake for 25 minutes.
- Broil peppers for 2 minutes on high for crispy peppers.
- Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
