BBQ Chicken Stuffed Pepper

I really enjoyed the Mediterranean Stuffed Peppers that I made the other week, so I played around with some other variations.  Because of the extra protein, this BBQ Chicken version is definitely more filling.  If you've never tried Sticky Finger's Carolina Classic BBQ Sauce, go get you some!
