INGREDIENTS
1 large red bell pepper
1/3 cup dry quinoa (approx. 55g)
1/2 cup canned black beans, drained
1/4 cup sweet corn
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
3 ounces chicken breast, diced
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Cut the top off the bell pepper and remove seeds; reserve the top for later if desired for presentation.
Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a small saucepan, combine the quinoa with water (using the package instructions, using a bit less water to keep it fluffy) and a pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer, cover, and let cook until the water is absorbed, about 12-15 minutes.
While the quinoa cooks, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breast and sauté until cooked through and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the black beans, sweet corn, diced tomatoes, cumin, and chili powder into the skillet with the chicken. Allow the mixture to heat through for another 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Once the quinoa is done, combine it into the skillet mixture and stir to incorporate all the flavors.
Stuff the prepared bell pepper with the quinoa, black bean, and chicken mixture.
Place the stuffed bell pepper in a baking dish. If desired, cover with foil and bake for 15-20 minutes, or bake uncovered for a slightly roasted top.
Remove from the oven and serve warm, enjoying the hearty blend of textures and flavors.
