Greek chicken stuffed bell peppers are stuffed with a savory rice, feta and topped with mozzarella. Hints of lemon and herbs are present in every bite for a great family dinner recipe that’s not too heavy.

Recipe Highlights

How do they taste: These Greek chicken stuffed bell peppers have a very fretting flavor thanks to the hints of lemon and oregano. The rice is aromatic with touches of garlic and oregano. The chicken is shredded chicken but everything is tossed in a lemon sauce and touches of salty feta cheese are added into the mix. Lastly, the bell peppers are topped with a serving of creamy mozzarella cheese.
Skill level: Any one can make these chicken stuffed bell peppers. You don’t have to rush, take your time. The parts are made separately then brought together for everything to bake together in the oven. You can even prep these ahead due to that.
Storing: These Greek chicken stuffed bell peppers will keep just fine in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can prep them and freeze for later but be sure to let them slowly thaw in the fridge overnight a day before baking.

Ingredient tips

Bell peppers: These range in flavors with the green having a very earthy flavor. I recommend on the sweeter side which will be the yellow or orange for the touch of sweetness. But, they all will work and give you a super tasty recipe.
Chicken: Shredded chicken that’s already cooked or you can purchase a rotisserie chicken and shred it as well for the ease. Shredding chicken is easy and for this recipe you can just follow my instructions here. If you find yourself having leftover turkey, that can work as well for the recipe.
Rice: The rice is flavored to enhance the overall flavoring. Any long-grain rice can work but my go-to are basmati or jasmine rice.
Cheese: The cheese is optional but the feta and the mozzarella both add their special touch to the recipe. Feta is for the inside mix while the mozzarella is the creamy topping for the perfect cheese-pull.
