Ingredients

Preheat broiler to high and position rack in centre of oven. Brush peppers with 4 tsp (20 mL) oil. Arrange on foil-lined baking sheet; broil, turning once, for 3 to 5 minutes or until tender.
Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in large skillet set over medium-high heat; cook chicken, salt and pepper for about 8 minutes or until cooked through. Stir in rice and 1 cup (250 mL) salsa. Remove from heat. Stir in half of the cheese and green onions. Spoon into halved peppers; sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Broil for 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese is melted. Top with remaining salsa and green onions before serving.

Substitute ground beef or pork for chicken
Substitute rice with barley, farro, cauliflower rice or quinoa to change things up
Peppers can be substituted with mini peppers for a great appetizer option. The filling can also be used to stuff zucchini boats or Portobello mushrooms.
