Product used in this recipe:
Caramelized Onion & Gouda Chicken Burger

INGREDIENTS:
- 2 Caramelized Onion & Gouda Chicken Burgers, chopped into ½-inch chunks
- 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange)
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided
- ½ small yellow onion, diced
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 3 Tbsp low sodium chicken broth
- 1 Tbsp tomato paste
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 Tbsp ketchup
- 1 Tbsp sweet pickle relish
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- Sea salt, to taste
- Lettuce, shredded or chopped
- Pickles, diced
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Halve the bell peppers lengthwise and remove the seeds. Place them cut side up in a baking dish, drizzle with 1 Tbsp of olive oil, and rub to coat. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes, until slightly softened.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 Tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook 3-4 minutes until translucent. Stir in the chopped caramelized onion & gouda chicken burgers and cook 2-3 minutes until lightly browned.
- Add the cooked rice, broth, tomato paste, garlic powder, and salt. Stir and cook another 2-3 minutes until heated through. Remove from the heat and stir in ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese.
- Spoon the filling into the baked pepper halves. Sprinkle with the remaining ½ cup cheddar cheese. Return to the oven and bake uncovered for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and peppers are tender.
- While the peppers bake, whisk together the Greek yogurt, ketchup, relish, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Stir in a few splashes of water to thin the sauce as needed for a drizzling consistency.
- Top the stuffed peppers with shredded lettuce and diced pickles. Option to drizzle the burger sauce over the top. Serve warm and enjoy!
