Chef Tips ?
- If you cook the mushrooms on medium-low heat, more water comes out of it. And vice versa. So when adding the mushrooms to the pan, lower the heat for 2 minutes and then bring it back up. The water from the mushrooms will come out and the flavor will go more into the sauce and chicken. After that you can bring the heat back up to medium like before.
- Since all the stuffing will already be cooked, you don't need to leave the bell peppers in the oven for a long time - just enough to cook them a bit and for the cheese to melt.
So here's the recipe!

Instructions

Notes
1. If you cook the mushrooms on medium-low heat, more water comes out of it. And vice versa. So when adding the mushrooms to the pan, lower the heat for 2 minutes and then bring it back up. The water from the mushrooms will come out and the flavor will go more into the sauce and chicken. After that you can bring the heat back up to medium like before.
2. Since all the stuffing will already be cooked, you don't need to leave the bell peppers in the oven for a long time - just enough to cook them a bit and for the cheese to melt.

This may be a dumb question but what is cream and where in the store would you find it ?
Aena
Hi Deb!! First off, there is no such thing as a dumb question so don't worry asking anything here! 😀
Cream is actually similar to milk but thicker in consistency and has a higher percentage of fat! It's used in desserts, and cooking as well, e.g. whipping cream 😀 You can find it in pretty much all grocery stores in the dairy section! Look for whipping cream and just use that in the recipe and it will turn out delicious! The filling for these bell peppers is my absolute favoriteeee!
Let me know if you have any other questions <3 Happy cooking beautiful!!
