Friday Treat: Easy Stuffed Bell Peppers!!

Whenever I see colorful bell peppers in stores, I cannot stop myself from purchasing them. Most of the time, I end up making curry out of it but this time I wanted to make something else. Something simple, quick yet tasty! For that, I thought about stuffing peppers and giving them a slight broil. I used foods that were in the refrigerator for a while and of which I had no idea on what to do with. This way, I was able to take care of leftovers (Rice, Beans, and pre-cooked chicken) and at the same time treat my Friday with delicious Stuffed Bell Peppers. I must also mention, this is the simplest recipe I have ever made and of course one of the tastiest \:D/
