Steps to make Chipotle Chicken Stuffed Bell Pepper:
  1. Slowly render bacon fat in a medium sized sauce pot over medium-low heat. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and pat dry between paper towels.
  2. Bring chicken stock to a simmer in a seperate sauce pot.
  3. Saute onion in bacon fat until nearly caramelized, about 5 minutes.
  4. Turn heat to high. Add rice and garlic. Stir. Saute 30 seconds. Add regular salsa. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir.
  5. Add chicken stock. Bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer on low 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Let stand covered 5 minutes. Do not remove lid prior. A clear lid is the best tool for cooking rice.
  6. Remove the top of the bell pepper just far enough from the top of the pepper where the sliced top will remain intact. Discard stem.
  7. Slice the bottom of each bell pepper just enough to create a flat bottom so the pepper can stand upright, try not to remove too much of the bottom of the bell pepper as to avoid making a hole through the pepper.
  8. In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, bacon, cooked rice, beans, cheese, and chipotle salsa with a large pinch of salt.
  9. Stuff bell pepper with chicken mixture. Stand up in saute pan or small roasting pan. Add crumbled aluminum foil balls to fill space in pan to prevent pepper from moving if necessary.
  10. Add water to cover the bottom of the pan. Cover and roast approximately 45 minutes at 350º or until peppers are wilted and mixture is slightly bubbling.
  11. Alternatively, for a less crispy bell pepper roast the peppers with a tiny bit of vegetable oil rubbed on the pepper at 400º for approximately 10-15 minutes, or until the peppers begin to soften.
