1: Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and sauté the onion for about 5-7 minutes until translucent.

4: Add in the cherry tomatoes and seasonings, and cook for about 3 minutes, or until the tomatoes start to soften.
5: Dump in the rice, stir to combine, and slowly pour in the chicken broth.
6: Bring to a bubble, reduce heat, and simmer for about 12-15 minutes, or until the rice is almost cooked and the liquid has evaporated.
7: Meanwhile, cut the bell peppers in half, remove the stem, and cut out the white ribs. Place in a baking dish and set aside.
8: When the rice is tender, add in the 1/2 cup mozzarella and parsley, and stir well. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
9: Stuff the mixture into the bell peppers and top with more cheese.
10: Add 3 tablespoons of water to the bottom of the dish, cover with foil, and cook for 20 minutes.

12: Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
