Stuffed Poblano Peppers

No purchased cat toy will ever be as interesting as a box.

No pepper will ever be as handsome and delicious as the Poblano.  Baked and stuffed with chicken or turkey, beans and  pico de gallo is a low-carb meal idea that is super simple to prepare because you don't need to parboil the peppers and you can actually leave all the seeds in if you're lazy because they're quite mild.  Split the dark emerald green fellers open, salt pepper and stuff.  I had some juices from my shredded chicken but you could add a little chicken stock to the bottom of the baking dish.  This pepper is strong and resilient, yet tastes smoky and elegant.  Somehow he provides an elevated culinary experience to the standard bell pepper.

I covered and baked for 35 minutes before putting cheese on mine and baked uncovered until melted, about 5 minutes more.

A big dollop of cool guacamole is a great side, as would Mexican or brown rice. But if you're low carbin' it, this works just fine.
