You’re going to love this healthy recipe for Crock-Pot Chicken Stuffed Green Peppers! Chicken and rice stuffed pepper with a lovely creamy lemon sauce. So good!
Slow Cooker Chicken Stuffed Green Peppers
This recipe was made as part of the Improv Challenge hosted at Frugal Antics of a Harried Homemaker where bloggers are challenged to create a recipe using two random ingredients each month.
This month’s ingredients were sour cream and lemons. And so I decided to create a lovely stuffed bell pepper recipe using chicken and rice with a really lovely creamy sauce that is flavored with a little bit of lemon juice.
The results were fantastic and I hope you enjoy the recipe as much as my family and I did!
