Mini Chicken Stuffed Peppers

I love Mexican food. If I had to pick one ethnic food to eat for the rest of my life Mexican would be among the top contenders. I also love Thai and Greek food so it would be a very hard decision. These mini chicken stuffed peppers are packed with good stuff. Chicken, cilantro, cheese, and spinach give them flavor and nutrients. They are perfect for an easy appetizer, party, or as a main course.

My garden this spring magically grew a huge cilantro plant. I’m calling it magic since I didn’t plant any seeds and they are supposed to be an annual. What I did so was kill a small cilantro plant last summer. As it was dying it must’ve dropped seeds because this year I was in cilantro heaven.

Unfortunately, that lovely plant went to seed already despite my efforts to stop it. I can only hope that next spring will be welcomed with another crop of cilantro.
