Ingredients

• 4 large Bell peppers (any color)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 medium (about 1 pound) Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 cup Cooked quinoa
• 0.5 cup Cucumber, diced
• 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.25 cup Red onion, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup Kalamata olives, sliced
• 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Lightly brush the insides with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place them upright in a baking dish.

Step 3

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and oregano. Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Remove from skillet and let the chicken rest before dicing into small pieces.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, diced chicken, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese. Drizzle with lemon juice and toss until everything is evenly combined.

Step 5

Stuff each bell pepper with the chicken and quinoa mixture, pressing down gently to pack the filling tightly.

Step 6

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the tops of the peppers start to brown slightly.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let the stuffed peppers sit for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional feta cheese or a sprinkle of oregano, if desired.
