For an extra layer of flavor, consider charring the bell peppers under a broiler before stuffing. This adds a smoky depth to the dish. Feel free to substitute the chicken with ground turkey or beef for a different take on this classic recipe. To add a bit of zest, squeeze some lime juice over the stuffed peppers before serving.
