You know a pepper is going to be huge when it goes by another name - The Spanish Mammoth Pepper. Compared to bell peppers, they’re quite a bit sweeter in flavor and larger on average, though you won’t find them easily in supermarkets, or in America, for that matter. You’re more likely to find them in Paris or other warmer climes outside of the U.S. They’re best grown in your own garden, which I would urge you to do, but if you’re unable to find them, go with red, orange, or yellow bell peppers for this recipe. Those will work just fine. You can see how juicy the mixture is within. Making me crazy. I want another one of these already. Let’s talk about how we make these chipotle chicken stuffed peppers, shall we? Feel free to reduce the amount if you’d prefer to tame the overall chipotle flavor. But join me if you will for powerful chipotle! So smoky, so good. This is very much like this Chicken Tinga Recipe, which is essentially chipotle shredded chicken. I love this stuff. You can continue to let it simmer and develop even more flavor at this point. You may need to add a bit of water or chicken broth to keep the moisture level up, but this stuff right here is DA BOMB. I almost ate it right out of the pot. Let the smell fill your house. Drive yourself a little crazy with desire as it’s cooking. Not kidding. You name it, go for it. As long as it is melty. Bake the Chicken Stuffed Peppers. When you’re ready, bake them up in a preheated oven until the red peppers have softened to your liking and the cheese is nicely melted. You can see why I am such a stuffed pepper fanatic. This particular stuffed pepper recipe is crazy good and if I owned a restaurant, you’d be dang RIGHT that I’d have this on the menu. Let me know how you like it!
