Instructions

  • Gather all your ingredients.
    Ingredients on the table including; small bell peppers, 3 carrots, 3 tomatoes, a bowl of rice, sea salt, better than bullion jar, an onion, and a bowl of ground chicken
  • In a large pot, bring two cups of water to boil with one tablespoon of Better Than Bouillon broth concentrate. Pour the rice into the water and turn the heat down low until it's nearly cooked through (it will cook the rest of the way through in the oven).

  • In a large pot, pour boiled water over the tomatoes until they are fully submerged. Allow them to soak for a few minutes and remove the skins. Dice the tomatoes into cubes.

  • Preheat half a cup of light olive oil in a deep skillet. Place the diced tomatoes in the oil and allow them to simmer for a few minutes. Once the tomatoes soften, pour them over the stuffed peppers. In a separate dish, whisk 1 cup of boiled water with 1 tablespoon of Better Than Bouillon broth base. Pour the broth over the stuffed peppers.
