Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large bell peppers (any color), halved and seeds removed

  • 4 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works perfectly)

  • 1 cup paleo mayonnaise (homemade or store-bought avocado mayo)

  • ½ cup hot sauce or buffalo sauce (Frank’s RedHot or Whole30-friendly version)

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (optional)

  • 1 bunch green onions, white and light green parts thinly sliced (plus more for garnish)

  • Whole30 ranch dressing, for garnish

  • Fresh herbs, for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven: Set oven to 400°F (200°C).

  • Prepare the peppers: Arrange the halved, de-seeded bell peppers cut-side up in a lightly greased large skillet or baking dish.

  • Mix the filling: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, mayonnaise, hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, nutritional yeast, and sliced green onions. Mix thoroughly and adjust seasoning or hot sauce to taste.

  • Stuff the peppers: Fill each bell pepper with the buffalo chicken mixture, packing it in evenly.

  • Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 20 minutes, until the peppers are tender and the filling is bubbly and slightly browned.

  • Garnish and serve: Drizzle with dairy-free ranch dressing, sprinkle extra green onions and fresh herbs, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use a rotisserie chicken to save time and add extra flavor.

  • Try different colors of bell peppers for a vibrant presentation.

  • For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or more buffalo sauce to the filling.

  • These peppers reheat well, making them great for meal prep or leftovers.
