    💡 Tips for Making Stuffed Peppers

    • When you go to cut your peppers, stand them upright and slice through the center of the stem downward.  Try to position your pepper where you will get two sides that end up being the bottoms one they are stuffed, that will sit level.  If you have one side that won’t quite sit level, you can carefully slice off a small amount of the pepper on the higher side to help.  A small amount of crumbled aluminum foil will also help prop up a side that sits lower.  This will ensure that the filling doesn’t ooze out once the peppers bake.
    • You might be tempted to add some liquid in the casserole dish, but they will not need it and will become soggy if you add any.
    • You also might be tempted to cover the casserole with foil before baking and again, that is not needed.  The filing doesn’t need much cooking and the bell pepper become tender without a problem.
    • Make sure the chicken is finely shredded and chopped.  It will be much easier to enjoy without having giant pieces of chicken to contend with.
    • If you want to make these peppers ahead of time, you can follow all the steps until the baking part. You can place them stuffed, in your casserole baking dish, cover with plastic wrap until you are ready to bake them. They’ll keep in the fridge just fine for a day or two. This is a great time-saver for busy weeknights!

    🔄 Substitutions and Additions

    • Chicken: If you don’t have cooked chicken on hand and want a shortcut, you can use rotisserie chicken.  Just be sure to chop it up small enough.
    • Cheese: If you don’t have mozzarella cheese, you can use any cheese that melts well, provolone or Monterey Jack would both work great.
    • Mushrooms: If you’re a big mushroom fan, you can add in some sautéed mushrooms, just make sure they are chopped first.
    • Vegetarian option: If you’re a Vegetarian, you can certainly just omit the chicken and instead add in those mushrooms I mentioned above.
    • Spinach: If you don’t have fresh baby spinach, you can substitute with frozen and thawed spinach.  Be sure to squeeze all the water out first, otherwise your filling will become soupy.
    • Onions: Sautéed onions or shallots would also be a nice flavorful addition.

    Should I boil peppers before stuffing them?

    Since the filing does need some time to bake, there is no need to boil your peppers before stuffing them in this recipe.

    Can you eat bell peppers on a Keto diet?

    Absolutely! One bell pepper has about 4 net carbs, making them ideal for a Keto diet.  I’ve used them in so many recipes for this reason, plus they are healthy and so delicious! 

    Some of these recipes include Chicken Fajita Casserole, Crockpot Sausage and Peppers, Sausage and Peppers Frittata, Mexican Coleslaw and Air Fryer Chicken Bites with Veggies, just to name a few.

    How do you eat stuffed bell peppers?

    I just dig in with a fork and knife, but when I reheat leftovers, I cut the pepper into bite size pieces while it’s still cold, then heat them up.  It makes my life so much easier, you should try it!

    How to prepare bell peppers

    For this recipe, since we are stuffing both halves of the peppers, I start by slicing each pepper from top to bottom, right down the middle.  I also choose to leave the stems in, though they are not something you want to eat. 

    But I find the filling stays in better and they also look more presentable.  This is a personal preference though, so you can leave them on or cut them out.
