Instructions
1

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

2

Add 1 diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

3

Add 2 cups of shredded leftover chicken to the skillet and mix well. Pour in 1 cup of coconut milk and 2 tablespoons of curry powder, stirring to combine.

4

Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Remove the skillet from heat and fold in 1 cup of cooked quinoa and 1/2 cup of chopped cilantro.

5

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stuff each bell pepper with the chicken and coconut curry mixture, packing it tightly.

6

Place the stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.

7

While the peppers are baking, prepare the mango salsa by combining 1 diced mango, 1/2 diced red onion, 1 chopped jalapeño, the juice of 1 lime, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.

8

Once the peppers are done baking, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the tops are slightly golden.

9

Serve the stuffed peppers hot, topped with the fresh mango salsa and a sprinkle of additional cilantro.
