Watch the video for this recipe!
The Stuffed Bell Peppers are also super simple to make. We're using pre-made chicken, so all you have to do is shred the chicken and you're good to go.
We prefer to purchase a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken from Walmart, traditional flavor, but use what is offered in your area. This chicken is super flavorful and definitely a timesaver!
This recipe is really similar to our Chicken Tetrazzini recipe! You all loved it so much, that we had to create a different version of the recipe.
So let's get into it so I can show you how it's done!

In a large skillet, add 2 tbsps of olive oil and heat. Then add the onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté and stir occasionally for 3-5 minutes or until vegetables begin to soften.
Add the chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, and sour cream to the skillet. Stir frequently until mixed well. Add the chicken broth to the pan and mix well.

As I was making this recipe I noticed you mentioned to sauté the onion and bell pepper in the skillet but you don’t mention any onion besides the onion powder in the ingredients.. I went ahead and diced 1/2 a large yellow onion. It seemed to be the right amount. They’re in the oven right now! I can’t wait to eat them! The filling looked so yummy
Ashley says
Thank you for letting us know. Sorry about that. It has been corrected. Yes, you absolutely add diced onion into the mix. I hope you enjoyed them!
