Crock-Pot 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. My immediate thought was seafood but I am a little skeered to cook seafood in the crock, so I came up with this combination of a few recipes.

Recipe Notes
You might want to check how many peppers will fit into your crock-pot first! I have a 6.5 quart size and the 5 peppers barely fit. This recipe can be made with ground lamb, beef or turkey as well. Also, the sauce will really thicken the longer it sits. I found this is not the best dish for leftovers unless you leave out the sauce-but that was my favorite part!
