In an effort to introduce some more exciting meals to our dinner table we have been playing around with some old classics. One that I used to love when I was younger is the stuffed vegetable; a nice wide variety can be used which makes it easy to alter. I usually use regular beef mince to make the stuffing mixture however I have decided to create a healthier option and use Steggles chicken mince instead. This is because it is a lean source of protein, has the heart tick of approval and is made from nothing but a blend of chicken breast and thigh. Below is my recipe for stuffed vegetables; tomato and capsicum specific but it can be easily adjusted to suit you personal taste. If you want more ideas on how you can add chicken mince to your meals click here for some delicious ideas.
Chicken and rice stuffed vegetables
Ingredients:
500g Steggles chicken mince
1x cup cooked rice
1x onion (diced)
4x bacon rashers (sliced)
1x tbs garlic
1x tbs mixed herbs
salt and pepper
Vegetables of choice – (I used 12x tomatoes and 5x capsicum)
Fetta (Persian is my favourite)
200g tomato paste
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 180°c.
2. Heat up small amount of oil in pan and fry chicken mince, onion, bacon and garlic over medium heat.
3. Slice tops off tomatoes and empty all juices and seeds into mince mix (so there is minimum wastage).
4. Add rice and season vegetables and mince mix. (If using tomatoes add a teaspoon of sugar to mix so they don’t go bitter).
5. Fill vegetables with mix and top with crumbled fetta.
6. Bake in oven for approx 30-40 minutes.
7. ENJOY!
Left over mince mix can be made into pie or pastry parcels.

Chicken, leek and mushroom pies. They’re delicious, great in winter warming us from the inside out.
Porcupine meatballs. Use the same recipe as we do for beef mince, just substitute chicken mince for the beef. It’s easy to add grated veggies, but not celery, it just overtakes the chicken flavour. Grated zucchini added to the mince is lovely. Have also thought of swapping the tomato soup to cream of mushroom, or cream of asparagus, to see how that goes, but so far just stayed with what I know works.
Porcupine meatballs. We replace the beef mince with chicken mince. Grated veggies are also nice to add. Just be careful if adding celery to the mince mixture, it can take over the chicken flavour completely. I’ve thought it might be worth substituting the tomato soup, with either cream of mushroom, or cream of asparagus, but for now, we’ve stuck with what we know works.
We actually make extra on purpose, and then in a smallish glass lock and lock, cut up the meat balls and gravy into the container, and put a piece of puff pastry on top, and freeze like that. Apply an egg wash to the pastry before the pies go in the oven. They really are nice..
Chicken enchiladas 🙂
Favourite chicken mince recipe, is chicken mince sausage rolls. Lovely variation from the staple mince beef sausage roll, a surprise package which is very yummy and morish.

Your recipe sounds really great! I hadn’t thought to use chicken mince to stuff vegetables before! Chicken mince is so versatile , I think my favourite thing to make that the kids really enjoy would be simple, homemade chicken rissoles packed with hidden veggies. Sometimes I’ll crumb them in cornflake crumbs or even crushed macadamia nuts for something a little different… They love them!
