Stuffed peppers with chicken and rice
Description
Stuffed peppers are one of the most popular dishes on our dining tables. They can be filled with mushrooms, carrots, cabbage, rice, or meat. Today I've prepared peppers stuffed with minced chicken. There are various ways to cook them—they can be baked in the oven, boiled, stewed in sour cream, or in tomato sauce. In any version, this is a delicious and hearty dish suitable even for festive occasions.
