Make easy, flavorful Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Bell Peppers suitable for low-carb, keto, or Whole30 diets.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large bell peppers (any color)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie works well)
  • 1/2 cup Frank’s RedHot or similar buffalo sauce
  • 1/4 cup full-fat cream cheese, softened (omit for Whole30/Dairy Free)
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or mayonnaise (use compliant mayo for Whole30)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese (optional, omit for Whole30/Dairy Free)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or green onion for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Slice the bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. Place the pepper halves cut-side up in the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, softened cream cheese (if using), Greek yogurt or mayonnaise, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated.
  4. If you are using cheese, stir half of it into the chicken mixture now.
  5. Spoon the chicken mixture evenly into the hollowed bell pepper halves, packing them gently.
  6. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes.
  8. Remove the foil. If using the remaining cheese, sprinkle it over the tops of the peppers.
  9. Return the dish to the oven, uncovered, and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is heated through and slightly browned on top.
  10. Garnish with fresh cilantro or green onion before serving.

Notes

  • For a Whole30 or Dairy-Free version, skip the cream cheese and optional shredded cheese. Use compliant mayonnaise or skip the extra binder if the sauce is sufficient.
  • If you prefer an air fryer method, cook at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes covered, then 5-7 minutes uncovered until the topping is melted.
  • Use rotisserie chicken to save time on weeknights.
