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!

    I never thought to make stuffed peppers in the crock pot. And I’m with you, seafood in the crock pot is just scary.
