Ingredients

Qty Item
4 whole Large bell peppers (any color), halved and deseeded
3 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded
4 oz Cream cheese, softened

How to Make Keto Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Bell Peppers

1

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

2

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.

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

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


Tips for Best Results

  • ·

    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.

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.
