Stuffed Bell Peppers with Shredded Chicken and Green Chile
Report
The filling for these bell peppers is made with leftover shredded chicken, Old El Paso chopped green chile for a mild spice that my kids can tolerate, tomatoes, and onion. This dinner is not only very simple, but also very flavorful.

- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 onion chopped

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
