Keto Chicken Stuffed Peppers – Important Tips

Chicken – Use any leftover rotisserie chicken or ground chicken. The frozen shredded chicken will also work.

Bell Pepper – Use any color of peppers as per your liking. You can either boil the peppers to make them more tender and softer or leave them as it is before putting them in the chicken mixture and baking. You can also char them on the flames of stove top gas for a nice smoky flavor.

Cheese – I am using cheddar, cream cheese, and Monterey Jack. You can substitute that with mozzarella instead. For a dairy-free option, omit the cheese or use a plant-based substitute.

Seasoning – Season everything with salsa, and some cumin, and for added heat, add minced jalapeno. You can also add half a can of drained diced tomatoes, extra onion, and seasoning with little sour cream and cream cheese to make it like salsa.

Variations – Add minced garlic cloves with a teaspoon of onion powder. For the Jalapeno, use diced green chiles. Cilantro or coriander leaves is the best for Mexican flavors, use parsley or basil instead.

Yes! Cool them completely before freezing, cover them with foil and plastic wrap, and freeze. Thaw overnight in the fridge, and bake from frozen at 350 degrees F.
If you have any leftovers, pack them in an airtight container or wrap them with foil and store them in the fridge for 3 to 5 days. When ready to eat, reheat in the microwave or in the oven at 350 degrees.
