Ingredients
    4 large bell peppers, any color
    2 tablespoons vegetable oil
    1 medium onion, diced (about 1/2 cup)
    2 teaspoons minced garlic
    1 1/2 cups diced cooked chicken
    2/3 cup pasta sauce
    1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack or 1/2 cup swiss cheese
    1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Preparation
    Heat the oven to 375\u00b0F Cut the tops off the peppers and reserve. Remove and discard the seeds. Place the peppers, cut-side up, into a 3-quart shallow baking dish.
    Heat the oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook until tender. Place the onion mixture into a medium bowl. Stir in the chicken, sauce, cheese and black pepper. Spoon the chicken mixture into the pepper halves. Top with the reserved pepper tops, if desired.
    Bake for 40 minutes or until the peppers are tender.
