  • For filling, in a small bowl, combine chicken, cheese, green onion and, if desired, cilantro. Add barbecue sauce; stir until combined. Spoon chicken mixture evenly into pepper halves.

  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until heated through and peppers are just tender.

Tips

Tip: If using jalapeño peppers, because chile peppers contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes, avoid direct contact with them as much as possible. When working with jalapeño peppers, wear plastic or rubber gloves. If your bare hands do touch the peppers, wash your hands and nails well with soap and warm water.
