This way they won't take so long in the oven to cook. Once the peppers have cooled a bit, cut them in half. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a large baking pan with non stick spray. In a skillet over med heat add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the ground chicken. Next add in the onions and tomato and the spices. Saute until the chicken is well browned. Add the rice to the meat mixture and stir well. Stir in the chopped green chili's & cilantro. Next spoon into the bell pepper halves. Open the El Pato sauce and pour a little over each stuffed pepper, add a little water to the can, swirl around and pour what is left into the pan. Next sprinkle the shredded Pepper Jack cheese over the top. Bake for 25 minutes. Serving Size: 1 pepper or 2 halvesNumber of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user DANEWELS.
