Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Carefully slice your bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Arrange them cut-side-up in a baking dish.
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and toss in the shallots. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Add minced garlic and chopped broccoli, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until bright green.
Mix in shredded chicken, cooked rice, and seasonings, stirring thoroughly for about 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and fold in half of the cheese and a splash of chicken broth.
Spoon the filling into each pepper half, topping with remaining cheese.
Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until cheese is golden.
