These Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Bell Peppers are where it’s at! They’re low carb and gluten free while being absolutely delicious and easy to make too. If you love buffalo chicken, then these are the stuffed peppers for you. I served mine with a side of celery and carrots with some light blue cheese dip, but it would also be good with some rice or even a side salad.
I lightened these peppers up by swapping in some greek yogurt and light blue cheese dressing in place of mayo and sour cream. I also used reduced fat cheeses and boneless skinless chicken breast that I cooked up in my instant pot and shredded myself. But, store bought or left over chicken will work too!
These bell peppers were super filling and I ended up with the perfect about of filling to peppers. My peppers were medium sized and I used a large boneless skinless chicken breast that ended up being right at about 3 cups when cooked and shredded.
My favorite part of this though, has to be that you get to eat the whole thing. Pepper and stuffing and all. Sometimes it’s fun to get to eat the vehicle for your food.
