Cajun Chicken-and-Rice-Stuffed Peppers:





Use Cajun seasoning (such as Spice Hunter) that doesn't list salt as its first ingredient.

1/2 cup uncooked converted rice


1/4 teaspoon salt


2 cups baby spinach leaves


5 teaspoons chopped fresh chives





Cut bell peppers in half lengthwise; discard seeds and membranes. Arrange halves in a 9-inch pie plate. Cover with heavy-duty plastic wrap. Microwave at high 5 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain. Return peppers to pie plate.





Combine chicken and Cajun seasoning in a bowl. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the chicken; saut茅 4 minutes or until done. Remove from pan.
