Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

- Spoon the cooked chicken mixture into each bell pepper, filling them to the top. Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish.

- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
