• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Place the peppers upright in a baking dish and brush the outsides with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 3

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes until the peppers are slightly softened.

Step 4

Meanwhile, chop the black olives, sun-dried tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, and cherry tomatoes into small pieces and place them in a large bowl.

Step 5

Dice the cooked chicken breast into small pieces and add them to the bowl with the vegetables.

Step 6

Juice the lemon and add it to the bowl along with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley.

Step 7

Mix everything together until well combined, ensuring the chicken and vegetables are nicely coated with the lemon-olive oil mixture.

Step 8

Remove the bell peppers from the oven and allow them to cool slightly if necessary. Stuff each pepper with the Mediterranean chicken mixture.

Step 9

Serve the stuffed peppers warm, or refrigerate them for a cold option. Enjoy!
