Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bell peppers (any color)
- 500 grams Ground chicken
- 1 cup Cooked jasmine rice
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Red curry paste
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 pieces Scallions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the ground chicken to the skillet and cook, breaking it into smaller pieces, until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the red curry paste, fish sauce, and lime juice. Mix well to combine.
Pour in the coconut milk and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.
Add the cooked jasmine rice, chopped scallions, and cilantro to the skillet. Stir until evenly combined and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Spoon the chicken and rice mixture into the prepared bell peppers, packing it in gently but firmly.
Place the stuffed bell peppers upright in a baking dish. If they have uneven bottoms, trim a small slice off the bottom to help them stand upright.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, or until the bell peppers are tender and the tops are slightly golden.
Serve hot, garnished with additional chopped cilantro if desired. Enjoy!
