Teriyaki Chicken Peppers

To be honest, I usually look at recipes for stuffed pepper, and as much as they look delicious, I’m not a fan. I kept seeing recipes that had the same flavor profile as our recipe and I kept convincing myself, it wouldn’t be a winner. I talked to my husband about it and he kept telling he wasn’t a fan, either. I finally decided to give it a try and see what I could come up with…….I’m glad I did!

IT IS SO GOOD! Yes, my fussy husband loved it too! It is so easy to put together and the flavor will make your mouth happy! How can you go wrong with a recipe like that? 

What is the difference between bell peppers?

The main difference between the colors of bell peppers is the level of maturity. Green bell peppers are the least mature and tend to be more bitter. Red bell peppers are the most mature, meaning they have been left to grow on the vine longest.

Which bell pepper is the sweetest?

Red bell peppers take the lead on levels of sweetness. However, I personally find yellow and orange to be just was sweet and add a beautiful spectrum of color that is visually appealing.
