spicy chicken stuffed peppers

These are delicious and so cheap to make

1lb. ground chicken browned in olive oil ( not too much)
3 peppers any color sliced with an onion and browned with meat ( get on day old rack at the grocery store)
add 2 cloves garlic to be browned with the  meat
1/2 teas cumin
1 teas cajun seasoning I always keep this on hand
1/2 teas. salt and pepper or to taste
1?2 teas paprika
and some leftover cooked rice if you have it
then cook it all up and stuff 4-5 peppers I cut them long ways add some cheese on top and bake 20-30 minutes.
lots of times in the grocery store you can get the ground chicken or ground turkey marked down and if you make it up that day or the next it is still wonderful Good luck and enjoy a cheap meal. I will be posting other very reasonable meals on my blog to help you save in these hard times
