Ingredients

4 bell peppers sliced in half

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons thyme
Salt & pepper to taste
1 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
8 tablespoons low moisture mozzarella

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Drizzle the bottom on an Instant Pot with olive oil then place chicken breast in it with broth, salt, pepper, thyme and garlic powder.
Place the cover on the Instant Pot then set the valve to sealing and set to steam for 30 minutes. See notes for making in slower cooker instead.
After 30 minutes, carefully set the valve to release. Once all the steam has released, remove the lid.
Using two forks, shred the chicken. It should shred easily from the steam and liquid in the pot.
Turn the oven on to broil (or 425 F) then place parchment paper on a large baking sheet.
Slice the bell peppers in half, remove the seeds and place on the baking sheet. Add about 1/2 cup shredded chicken into the peppers then top with 2 tbsp shredded mozzarella.
Bake 10 minutes then remove from the oven and place 2 bell peppers in each meal prep container.

Notes

If you do not have an Instant Pot, you can also make the chicken in a Crockpot setting it on low for 6-8 hours or high 3-5 hours. In a pinch a rotisserie chicken works too!
