Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Peppers (Low Carb, Keto)

These low carb stuffed peppers are filled with buffalo chicken for a spicy low carb recipe! I drizzled mine with ranch dressing before serving, but blue cheese is great too!

Hi friends!

I’m back with another low carb recipe for you this week and I think you’re going to LOVE this one!

I mean, how can you possibly go wrong with buffalo chicken stuffed green peppers? Impossible.

If I’m watching my carbs, I still want foods that are big and bold in flavor, so buffalo chicken is always a win for me.

And, obviously, I always want recipes that are simple. I’m a busy mom, running a business, homeschooling two kids, and trying to get dinner on the table every night.

Easy is where it’s at in my household.

I love this stuffed bell pepper recipe because you don’t need to parboil the peppers before cooking. They get perfectly soft in the oven, so long as you cover the dish with foil and add a tablespoon of water to the bottom of your baking dish.

I love that trick, because who has time to boil peppers before stuffing them with good stuff? Nobody.

Anyway, these easy stuffed peppers are filled with what is basically buffalo chicken dip.

You’ll want some shredded chicken, cream cheese, Frank’s, cheddar and mozzarella. I always season my buffalo chicken dishes with ranch seasoning, because the two flavors just go together for me.

You can totally omit it if you’re a purist. You can also swap in some blue cheese for the cheddar and/or mozzarella.

Personally, I’m not a fan of blue cheese, but I know some of y’all are very insistent that the only right cheese for buffalo chicken is blue cheese. So, you do you.

These easy stuffed peppers are filled with buffalo chicken dip!

You’ll also notice that I cut my peppers in half length-wise rather than lopping off the top.

I do this because I think it’s easier to fill them this way. They lay down nicely and it’s easier to cover the dish with foil.

Again, you do you. If you want to lop the top off and fill them standing up, that’s fine too.

You can swap in any color of pepper, but stuffed green peppers are a bit lower in carbs than the other colors. If you’re not watching your carb intake super close, go ahead and use any color you like!

You should also be sure to pop over and check out these lasagna stuffed peppers and chicken stuffed peppers. Both are low carb and full of flavor! This stuffed pepper soup is looking amazing, too!

Clearly, I have a love for stuffing low carb foods inside peppers. It’s just a perfect combo and I can usually count on my kids to go for their veggies this way.
