Chipotle Chicken & Impossible Beef Poppers

Chipotle Chicken & Impossible Beef Poppers

I did these 2 ways using sweet peppers…chicken and bacon for myself and meatless for my girlfriend

For the meat eaters 😁 start with the bacon as per usual 😂 then cook minced onion and garlic in the bacon fat until it starts to soften. Deglaze w/ white wine and add minced chicken, I seasoned it with SPPOG + chili powder & cumin. Brown, add chipotles in adobo sauce and chicken stock then mix and let it simmer until the stock is gone. Taste test and if you want more of a kick, add some more chipotle adobo sauce.

For the non-meat eaters 🤣 skip the bacon and use olive oil for the garlic & onion. Once soft, add the fake beef (I seasoned it the same as the chicken + oregano) cook until browned, then mix in cooked rice and diced tomatoes. Add vegetable broth as needed to keep it from drying out.

While the fillings are cooling, cut a hole in the peppers and remove the insides. Stuff as much as you can in each one, I used the round handle end of a wooden spoon to get stuff into the tips. Cover with cheese, I used cheddar on the chicken and mozzarella on the meatless, then bake at 400° until the cheese starts to brown. Add bacon bits on the chicken ones and put back in the oven, turned off, to crisp up the bacon a tad.

Sprinkle w/ parsley & scallions then enjoy!

I didn't forget about my dogs, but they can't have this so I made them plain chicken breast browned in olive oil, used a ramekin to mold some plain rice, then garnished it with a celery leaf and carrots 😆
