Cook for a few minutes on medium and then turn off.
Return meat to sauce and mix thoroughly.
Scoop out peppers and save tops.
Preheat oven to 350.
Put a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of a baking pan and place peppers inside.
Put a tablespoon of rice into each pepper and pour a bit of chicken broth in each pepper.
Scoop sauce into each pepper and then pour remaining sauce on top of entire dish.
Loosely cover with foil and bake for 1 hour.
If peppers aren’t done to your liking, remove cover and cook a bit longer.
