Chef's tip
Ground chicken is often leaner than ground pork and can dry out more quickly. When browning it, add a little oil if needed and keep the pan juices unless the recipe says to drain them. Cook just until it reaches 165°F (74°C).
1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, drained, liquid reserved
1 cup cooked long-grain white rice
Chef's tip
Already-cooked brown rice swaps in 1:1 with no other changes to the recipe.
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

For serving

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Finely dice the reserved pepper tops, discarding the stems, and set aside.
2
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the diced onion and diced pepper tops and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
