Fiesta Chicken Stuffed Bell Peppers
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Fresh from Florida. All opinions are 100% mine.
The new year started just a few weeks ago and usually I don’t have a new year’s resolution.
By now, I usually give up on whatever my resolution was because I think it was too hard to keep or I wasn’t motivated enough in the first place. This year I did decide to make one and do my best to stick with it.
It’s not to get down to a certain weight or dress size. I want to work on being healthy overall. That means eating right, exercising, keeping stress to a minimum, and enjoying more of what’s around me.

I’ve been doing pretty well, so far and haven’t fell off the wagon yet. My eating has been consistent and luckily, I live in Florida where there is fresh tasting produce year round at my local supermarkets and farmers markets.
With my new found healthy lifestyle I’ve been making some of the best recipes. In this latest one I included Fresh from Florida bell peppers. 
Fiesta Chicken Stuffed Bell Peppers
I’ve loved bell peppers since I was a kid. Of course I ate them cooked, but I would also slice up a juicy red bell pepper and eat it if I needed something quick and crunchy.
Bell peppers are available in Florida restaurants, as well and are in season from January through May. It doesn’t hurt that they’re packed with vitamin C and are low in calories.
Even my kids love helping me pick out the green, red, or orange peppers to include in our meals. My Fresh from Florida Fiesta Chicken Stuffed Bell Peppers were a huge hit with them, too. Enjoy!

These stuffed bell peppers look absolutely delightful and they’re so festive as well. I would love to make these especially when I’m hosting a party at home.
Yum! I love to find quick and convenient meals like this for dinner.
My sister shares a recipe to me similar to this one. It’s just ground beef on bell pepper topped with cheese.
Wow, I will add this on my menu for the weekends. My children are coming home so I need to cook something special.
I have a family full of bell pepper lovers. These sound great!
