Note: Dulce peppers are mild smoky flavored sweet peppers from Spain. If you can't find them you could substitute regular bell peppers or to kick things up a notch use mild banana or cubanelle peppers.

Ingredients

10-12 large sized dulce peppers ( 6 large bell peppers or banana peppers)
2 eggs
1 cup salsa (mild or hot - your choice)
3 cups shredded cooked chicken
3/4 cup panko crumbs, or soft breadcrumbs
1/2 cup cooked long grain rice
3 cups meatless spaghetti sauce (I used a roasted red pepper variety)

Instructions

Cut off the top of the peppers and remove the seeds. Set aside.

In a large bowl combine eggs, salsa. chicken, breadcrumbs and cooked rice. Mix well.

Stuff peppers with the filling.

Pour 1/2 the spaghetti sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Cover the peppers with the remaining sauce.

Cover and bake at 350F for one hour.
