There is just one way to describe these Stuffed Peppers - Nom Nom Nom!!! And there is just one thought for this scrumptious 3-Cs stuffing, give-me-my-old-spoon and forget-I-exist-for-10-minutes!!! Yes, just 10 minutes because once I have a spoonful of this stuffing, rest just disappears.... Plus, I am so much in demand, no one will give me more than 10 minutes alone!! ha ha ha j/k

Chipotle Chicken and Chickpea Stuffed Peppers - Yummo!!

Vishal and I both love bell peppers. Even though, as a child I hated them, today, I can't have enough bell peppers.

did I tell you, I do groceries only every fortnight? Every-time I make sure to buy some peppers. I know, I will use'em some way for sure.

This stuffed peppers recipe was taking shape in my mind for long time but every-time I thought to make'em, I never had all ingredients in-hand. Especially peppers. They simply disappear in salads, stir-fry, grilling and what not! My stuffed peppers recipe waited patiently until I bought these gorgeous purple heirloom peppers from store last week.

Heirloom and few Yellow Peppers for good color-combo and rotisserie chicken in refrigerator were enough to get me started with the recipe. These stuffed peppers are gluten free and have ton of healthy and filling ingredients to make a complete weeknight meal. Has good serving of White Meat Chicken and hearty serving of Chickpeas, plus not to forget veggies - zucchini, scallions, and cherry tomatoes. Oh!! and my favorite Bell Peppers. What will be a stuffed peppers without peppers themselves :)

So happy to share this recipe with you all.

Cheers!! & Happy Cooking!!
