Riso stuffed peppers & chicken

Zippylip

I was trying to come up with a no-meat stuffing for a couple bell peppers to serve with, well, the meat. Looking through the cabinet for rice I came upon a box of riso :blink: , plucked a few leaves from the trusty parsley plant, mixed in some shredded chedder cheese, olive oil, salt & pepper, stuffed'm, a shake of bread crumbs & a little butter, stacked'm atop some chicken thighs & went at 300 for 60 minutes before saucing the thighs, it was yummy:

Ohhh those tender peppers look good and I bet your grilled chicken heavily slathered in bbq sauce were just plane dynamite.
A mid-summers dream dinner cookout, for sure.
Nice work with the creative cooking!

WOW, that's almost like having peppers stuffed with mac n cheese. Nice job! Thighs look awesome too!

Great idea for a side dish. I've done my meatloaf recipe in the peppers a couple of times and really enjoyed them. The peppers seem to sweeten up we've they cook. Always something else to try.....
