Recipe by Christine Burns Rudalevige Update the classic stuffed bell pepper recipe with a tangy chicken, couscous, and goat cheese salad, instead of the traditional ground beef and rice. Broiling the peppers before filling brings out their sweet and smok

Ingredients

8 large red bell peppers, divided Cooking spray 1 1/2 cups cooked Israeli couscous 1/3 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley 3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided 1 teaspoon honey, divided 5/8 teaspoon kosher salt, divided 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper 2 cups chopped skinless, boneless rotisserie chicken breast (about 8 ounces) 1.5 ounces crumbled goat cheese (about 1/3 cup) 4 cups baby arugula

Instructions

Place oven rack in top third of oven. Preheat broiler to high. Line a jelly-roll pan with foil. Cut off top third of each pepper (with stem); reserve 4 pepper tops. Remove seeds and membranes from peppers; discard. Arrange peppers on their sides on prepared pan; coat with cooking spray. Broil 8 minutes or until charred, turning after 4 minutes. Place 4 peppers, cut sides up, in an 8-inch square glass or ceramic baking dish. Wrap remaining 4 peppers in foil. Let stand 10 minutes; peel and discard skins. Reserve 4 peeled peppers. Combine couscous, parsley, mint, 1 tablespoon oil, 1 tablespoon juice, 1/2 teaspoon honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt, cumin, crushed red pepper, and chicken in a medium bowl. Stir in goat cheese. Spoon 3/4 cup chicken mixture into each pepper in dish. Top peppers with reserved 4 pepper tops. Broil 3 minutes. Combine remaining 1 tablespoon oil, remaining 1 tablespoon juice, remaining 1/2 teaspoon honey, and remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt in a bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add arugula; toss.
