Mexican Shredded Mesquite Smoked Chicken Stuffed Peppers

Smoked a chicken , this time I did not brine or inject, But coated it really heavy with Mesquite BBQ rub from one of the packages I received a while back.
In the smoker with Mesquite chips and chunks and a few pellets.



Did its time in the smoker , and still nice and juicy skin on the bird

Went into the smoke fridge ( not allowed to use the house fridge anymore ) for couple days as little busy at work.

Brought it out and shredded most of the bird , saved a little for an other time, not sure what yet.
So shredded and into the ci with some canola oil to get the edges of the chicken nice and crispy , then in went all the good stuff.
canned diced tomato, 3 Chipotles in Adobo sauce chopped small , Ancho Chili Powder, oregano, cumin powder, and onion powder
little bit of tomato paste. Stir all so well blended, Add salt and black pepper and touch of sugar.

Let that simmer for a bit until well blended. The smell and the taste.....

Cut and clean out my peppers , add the chicken almost half full, mozza cheese , fill with the chicken and cover with more mozza
The first picture shows 3 peppers in the 3 stages. lol

Fill them up and into oven for 30 minutes , last 4 minutes under the broiler

Made some light sweet yellow rice .

So here is my plate , yes I took the biggest pepper, lol

there you have it folks

My supper , good and tasty , and pretty to look at as I shovel it in

Thanks for looking

I'm with you Jim, I was sampling the whole time filling up the peppers, great flavour,
This had heavy smoke and Mesquite rub, and I caught Mona dipping into the pan, some things she likes smoke and somethings not so much. This one I guess passed the test.

I don't care for the bell pepper but I'd empty a pepper bowl in a instant!

I hate ( not really ) it when that happens. The chicken was really good with the Mesquite rub and heavy smoke

And in the Mexican cook up in the pan , very nice
