Tangy Italian Risotto Stuffed Peppers
Dec 05, 2016
Ahhhh....red bell peppers. They have always been a favorite of mine, with their crisp, sweet flavor that refreshes the mouth and fills the body with vital nutrients. What isn't to love about these plump, beautifully colored, crunchy peps?
This was one of the first recipes I ever created, and my love for it has only grown. The sweet crunch of the red pepper, followed by the savory taste of risotto and chicken, topped with melted, mouthwatering mozzarella is only made better by the delightful tanginess of fresh-squeezed lime. It is incredibly easy to make, whether it be for a couple people or a large group. I hope you love it as much as me :)
Note: the ingredients listed as organic I strongly believe should be purchased as such, but if that isn't an option, don't let it stop you from making the recipe.
Servings: 4 as main dish, 8 as side dish
