How to Make Keto Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Bell Peppers

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a baking dish.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, and ranch dressing. Stir until the chicken is evenly coated and the mixture is creamy.

Place the halved bell peppers onto the prepared baking sheet, cut side up. Fill each pepper half generously with the buffalo chicken mixture.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the peppers have slightly softened.

Remove the tray from the oven and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of each pepper.

Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Garnish with sliced green onions and blue cheese crumbles if desired. Serve hot.

·
Use a rotisserie chicken to save time on prep and cooking.
·
If you prefer softer peppers, par-boil the pepper halves for 3 minutes before stuffing them.
·
Adjust the buffalo sauce amount based on your preferred spice level.
·
Make sure your cream cheese is fully softened to ensure a smooth, creamy filling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these peppers ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the stuffed peppers a day in advance and store them in the fridge; just add 5-10 minutes to the baking time.

What is the best way to reheat leftovers?

Reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes or in the air fryer for 5 minutes to maintain the pepper's texture.

Can I use an air fryer to cook these?

Absolutely! Air fry at 360°F for 12-15 minutes until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted.

Is buffalo sauce keto-friendly?

Most buffalo sauces are keto-friendly as they are vinegar and pepper-based, but always check the label for added sugars.
