Preparing the Bell Peppers

Begin by slicing the top off of each bell pepper and removing the seeds and inner membranes. Blanch the peppers in boiling water for about 5 minutes to soften them slightly, then drain and set aside.

Cooking the Filling

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions, carrots, and mushrooms, and sauté until they begin to soften. Add the cooked chicken to the mix and stir well to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Filling the Peppers and Baking

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Spoon the filling into each bell pepper. If using cheese, sprinkle it on top of each filled pepper. Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
