- 1/4 cup chicken broth or water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a large baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
- Remove stems from peppers, slice in half lengthwise and and scrape out membranes and seeds. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken, enchilada sauce, green chiles, corn, black beans, cilantro, cumin, garlic powder, salt, chili powder, and 1/2 cup of the Monterrey Jack cheese. Mix everything together well.
- Pour chicken broth into the bottom of prepared pan. Spoon the chicken enchilada filling evenly into the pepper halves and place in the baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese over the tops of the stuffed peppers.
