Ingredients

6 Cubanelle peppers or mild banana peppers
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 cups shredded cooked chicken breast
1 cup salsa
3/4 cup soft bread crumbs
1/2 cup cooked long grain rice

Preheat oven to 350°. Cut and discard tops from peppers; remove seeds. In a large bowl, mix eggs, chicken, salsa, bread crumbs and rice. Spoon into peppers.
