Create a satisfying, flavor-packed dinner by stuffing bell peppers with tender shredded chicken tossed in spicy buffalo sauce and creamy dairy-free binder. This recipe delivers bold comfort food taste while remaining low-carb and perfect for meal prepping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large bell peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast
  • 1/2 cup dairy-free cream cheese alternative, softened
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (ensure it is Whole30/Paleo compliant if needed)
  • 1/4 cup dairy-free ranch dressing or plain full-fat coconut yogurt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the pepper halves in a single layer.
  2. Place the pepper halves cut-side up in the prepared baking dish. You can lightly spray them with oil if you prefer softer peppers, but this is optional.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened dairy-free cream cheese alternative, buffalo sauce, dairy-free ranch or yogurt, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until the filling is uniform and creamy.
  4. Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture evenly into each bell pepper half, mounding it slightly on top.
  5. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the peppers are tender-crisp and the filling is heated through and slightly golden on top.
  6. Remove from the oven. Garnish generously with fresh chives before serving.

Notes

  • For a Whole30 or Paleo approach, confirm your buffalo sauce ingredients exclude sugar and dairy. Use full-fat coconut yogurt for the creamiest dairy-free texture.
  • If you enjoy extra heat, add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the filling mixture.
  • These stuffed peppers are excellent for meal prep; store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
