- 07Stir in half the cheese mixture into the chicken filling and evenly divide among the peppers. Top with the remaining cheese.
- 08Place stuffed peppers on a sheet pan and place under the broiler until the cheese melts and turns a light golden color.
- 09Place peppers on a serving platter with their tops leaning against each one and a basil sprig for garnish on each one. Or, you can prop the top on an angle adhering it to the pepper with a toothpick.
