Stuffed Red Peppers SLOW COOKER style :)

Decided to try stuffed red peppers in the slow cooker for the first time.

Ingredients:

3 TBSP Olive Oil
2 red peppers
1 chicken breast, sliced into small pieces
2 cups cooked brown rice
2 cloves garlic
1/2 cup diced cherry tomatoes (I used fresh yellow and red tomatoes from my garden)
2 TBSP Italian Seasoning
1/4 cup white wine
1 can diced tomatoes
salt and pepper to taste

In a deep frying pan, heat oil over medium high heat
Add chopped garlic, and italian seasoning, cook 2 minutes
Add salt and pepper to taste
Add chicken, mix well, cook covered until chicken just begins to brown

Meanwhile, cut tops off of red peppers and bottoms (only to make them sit without falling over)
Chop up the top and bottom of red pepper and add to chicken mixture
Saute chicken and red pepper mixture until cooked, 5-10 minutes
Pour white wine into chicken mixture, scraping pan with spoon
Cover and simmer until liquid is reduced (5-10 minutes)
Once liquid is reduced, add cooked brown rice and stir
Stuff red peppers with mixture
Pour diced tomatoes into slow cooker
Place stuffed red peppers in sauce and cook 6-8hrs

Enjoy :)
