How to cook deliciously - Greek Stuffed Peppers

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 350º. Slice off top of bell peppers. Discard stems and remove ribs and seeds. Arrange peppers upright in a large casserole dish.

2. Stage

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add chicken and oregano; season with salt and pepper. Cook, turning occasionally, until chicken is golden brown and no longer pink, about 8 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes, then finely chop.

3. Stage

In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring 1 cup stock to a boil. Remove pot from heat. Stir in couscous. Cover pot with a tight-fitting lid. Let sit until couscous is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes.

4. Stage

Transfer couscous and chicken to a large bowl. Add onion, zucchini, garlic, tomatoes, olives, dill, and 1/2 cup feta; season with salt and pepper and toss to combine.

5. Stage

Stuff couscous mixture into peppers. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup feta. Pour remaining 1/2 cup stock into baking dish (to help peppers steam) and cover with foil.

6. Stage

Bake peppers until tender and cheese is melty, 42 to 45 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges alongside.
