Method

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 190°C (170°C fan). Slice the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Place them upright in a snug ovenproof dish.

  2. 2

    Mix together the shredded chicken, cooked rice, tinned tomatoes, sweetcorn and taco seasoning in a large bowl until well combined.

  3. 3

    Spoon the filling generously into each pepper, packing it down firmly. Top each with a good pinch of grated cheddar.

  4. 4

    Add a small splash of water to the base of the dish, cover tightly with foil and bake for 25 minutes.

  5. 5

    Remove the foil and bake for a further 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden and the peppers are tender.
