Stuffed Poblano Peppers are rich and flavorful with a mild to medium heat. Loaded with tons of chicken, beans, corn tomatoes and of course cheese all piled into a smoky pepper.

I planted Poblano peppers in my garden this year and they did amazingly well. So much so that I needed to find more recipes to use them up. There really are tons of different ways to use them, but I wanted to stuff a few with some chicken and cheese. The results were delicious! Tons of chicken, cheese, beans, corn and tomatoes all tucked into a Poblano pepper.

The Poblano pepper is quite mild and perfect for stuffing, and the flavors in the recipe easily compliment each other.
