This recipe uses prepared Salsa Chicken, please see the link to prepare this in advance. This chicken is packed with flavor which will enhance the flavor of the stuffed peppers.
Cut the tops off the peppers and clean the seeds out.
In a bowl, add the chicken, cooked rice, and black beans.
Mix this well and stuff each of the peppers with the filling.
Place the peppers evenly in the air fryer, this may need to be done in batches of 3 if they did not all fit.
Cook at 360*F in the Air Fryer for 10 minutes.
Carefully open the lid and top with cheese and cook an additional 2-5 minutes until the peppers are soft.
Carefully remove and serve.
To Make Salsa Chicken:
If making in the Ninja Foodi or Instant Pot, coat the pot with Grapeseed Oil Cooking Spray. If you are using a Slow Cooker, do this as well.
Place the chicken on the bottom, top evenly with taco seasoning and then evenly pour the salsa over the chicken.
Secure the pressure cooker lid if needed and set the nozzle to SEAL.
If you are using the Slow Cooker, cook on low for 8 hours.
If you are using the Ninja Foodi or Instant Pot and using chicken breast cook for 10 minutes on HIGH.
If you are using the Ninja Foodi or Instant Pot and using chicken thighs cook for 12 minutes on high.
If using the slow cooker when the 8 hours are up simply shred up the chicken and move on with the pepper instructions.
If using the Ninja Foodi or Instant Pot - Do nothing after the timer goes off and let it naturally release for 5 minutes. Carefully move the nozzle to VENT and let all the pressure release, then shred and carry on with the pepper instructions.
Remember with whichever method you choose...the chicken must have an internal temperature of at least 165*F to be considered fully cooked.
