Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush bell pepper halves with 1 tbsp olive oil and place on a baking sheet.
  2. Step 2: In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
  3. Step 3: In the same skillet, sauté onions and garlic for 2 minutes until fragrant. Add mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  4. Step 4: Stir in tomato paste, dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes until the mixture thickens and becomes aromatic.
  5. Step 5: Return chicken to the skillet, mix well, and cook for 2-3 minutes to combine. Divide the mixture evenly among the bell pepper halves.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 25-30 minutes until peppers are tender and edges are golden. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
