Ingredients

1 head cauliflower, broken into florets
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, minced
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon minced garlic, or more to taste
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup whole milk
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 large bell peppers, stemmed and seeded
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2 Place cauliflower florets in a food processor; pulse into rice-sized pieces.
3 Heat butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add cauliflower "rice" and mushrooms; cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in parsley, garlic, and poultry seasoning. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
4 Stir chicken, cream of mushroom soup, mozzarella cheese, milk, salt, and pepper into the "rice" mixture.
5 Stand bell peppers cut-side up in a baking dish. Stuff bell peppers with chicken mixture, pushing it down to fill them completely. Sprinkle with cayenne pepper. Cover baking dish with aluminum foil.
6 Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, about 30 minutes. Uncover and continue baking until golden brown, about 15 minutes more.
