🍴Ingredient Notes

• Chicken Breast - You can also swap for rotisserie chicken to save time!
• Bell Peppers - Any bell pepper color will work. (Red, yellow, orange, or green.)
• Red Onion - If you're not a fan of red onion, you can swap for sweet onion.
• Barbeque Sauce - I used Primal Kitchen Hawaiian BBQ Sauce, but any BBQ sauce will work! I love that theirs is lower in sugar and made with quality ingredients.
• Cauliflower Rice - Fresh or frozen! You can also swap for regular rice or do half and half.
• Chopped Cilantro - You'll need freshly chopped cilantro for the filling and to top the cooked peppers.
• Lime - I use lime juice in the filling and also serve slices on the side with the stuffed peppers.

🍴Step by Step Instructions

Step 1: Poaching Chicken

Start by poaching the chicken breast for about 10 minutes. (Or until cooked thoroughly.)

Step 2: Stuffed Pepper Filling

Next, make the filling by adding chopped red onion to a skillet. Sauté for a few minutes and then add in cauliflower rice, lime juice, and cilantro. Cook for a few more minutes.

Step 3: Shredding Chicken

Remove the chicken from the water and shred with two forks. Add in half of the barbeque sauce and stir together until evenly coated.

Step 4: Making Filling

Then, pour the chicken into the cauliflower rice mixture. Stir together with the other half of the barbeque sauce until the mixture is evenly coated.

Step 5: Preparing Peppers

Cut peppers in half the long way and remove all seeds and white membranes.

Step 6: Stuffing Peppers

Stuff each pepper with the filling and place on a plate or baking sheet.

Step 7: Grilling Peppers

Add the peppers to a pre-heated grill and cook until peppers are tender, and the bottom is charred. Serve hot!

Expert Tips

• Use a hand mixer to shred the chicken faster.
• If you have leftover filling, serve over top of the stuffed peppers.
• Test the filling before stuffing the peppers! If it needs more salt or spice, stir it in.
• Top them with your favorite dairy-free cheese! (Or regular cheese if you can tolerate dairy.) Sprinkle it on before they go into the oven.

Frequently Asked Questions

Serving Suggestions

I would recommend serving them with avocado or fresh guacamole! You can also serve them over a bed of Cilantro Rice for added bulk and flavor.

How to store leftovers

Leftovers can be stored in a covered container for up to five days in the refrigerator. (I like using glass containers.)

You can also freeze leftover stuffed peppers! To re-heat just pop them in the oven until they're warm.
