Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°.
Cook quinoa according to package directions; set aside.
Cook chicken in oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°, about 7 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate to cool; shred with two forks.
Sauté jalapeño, scallion whites, and garlic in same skillet over medium-low heat until fragrant, 2–3 minutes. Deglaze skillet with lime juice, scraping up any brown bits.
Combine beans, corn, ½ cup cheese, yogurt, cilantro, cumin, chili powder, coriander, salt, and black pepper with quinoa, chicken, and jalapeño mixture in a large bowl. Arrange bell peppers in a 9×13-inch baking dish; spoon filling into bell peppers. Add 2 Tbsp. water to bottom of dish; cover with foil and bake 30 minutes. Remove foil; bake bell peppers until fork-tender, 10–15 minutes more.
Garnish bell peppers with remaining ¼ cup cheese and scallion greens.
