How to Make Stuffed Capsicums Or Red Bell Peppers

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Cut the tops off the capsicums, remove seeds and membranes.
  3. Blanch capsicums in boiling water for 30 seconds, then immediately plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process. Gently pat them dry and arrange them upright in a small baking dish.
  4. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 chopped onion and 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
  5. Add 1 pound of ground chicken and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess fat.
  6. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the chicken and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  7. Gradually whisk in 1 ½ cups of chicken stock, bringing to a simmer and stirring until the sauce thickens slightly.
  8. Reduce heat to low. Stir in ½ cup of sour cream, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, oregano, or thyme), and 1 ½ cups of cooked rice. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Spoon the rice mixture into the prepared capsicums, filling them almost to the top.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the capsicums are tender and the filling is heated through.
