Low-Carb Creamy Chicken Stuffed Peppers

A delicious and healthy low-carb meal that’s ready in minutes. These Creamy Chicken Stuffed Peppers will soon become a favorite at your house. Delicious creamy chicken, fresh flavorful peppers, and absolutely macro-friendly.


The most requested recipes that I get are for LOW-CARB recipes that actually taste good and that the whole family can enjoy, so today I wanted to share with you one of my favorites!

My family loves stuffed peppers and this has quickly become a winner at our home – the filling is made using chicken that has been cooked and shredded (a rotisserie chicken works great for this – or check out my Slow Cooker Shredded Chicken recipe).

Mix the chicken with cream cheese, cheese, jalapeno, spices, and salsa.

Fill each pepper with the stuffing, cook, and top with some fresh cilantro – it’s dinner perfection.

When it comes to cream cheese, I know that it’s not the healthiest choice. BUT – I recently found a Greek yogurt cream cheese that has a lot more protein in it and I have loved using it in some of my favorite recipes.

You could also use a light cream cheese (also called Neufchatel cheese) in this recipe and it would work great.

Out of all the colors of bell peppers, red peppers are my favorite (probably because they are the sweetest).

You could use any color of peppers for this recipe – any that you have on hand will work great!

Many times stuffed peppers will have the tops cut off and then you fill the entire pepper with filling, but I have found that just cutting the pepper in half down the middle and filling each half is so much easier!

I served these peppers with a green salad on the side and then we had Healthier Chocolate Chip Cookies for dessert. All in all, a meal that was approved by my 4 taste-testers (aka children). 🙂

Eating healthy doesn’t have to be hard- this is a recipe that I have been making for many years.
 
Seriously – this one is my go-to JAM for a hot, healthy breakfast on the go!
 
A common complaint that I hear from people is “I just never have time to eat breakfast in the morning. I’m always rushing the kids off to school or rushing out the door to work. It’s hard to eat anything more than a granola bar.”
 
Here’s the thing – yeah you’re short on time, but you’re also short on INFORMATION!
 
A hot, healthy breakfast can be ready in less than 5 minutes and just as portable as you want it to be. This egg white omelette in a mug is as easy as it gets (to shorten time, I will even chop up all my vegetables the night before, making it ready in about 2 minutes. There are no excuses for not eating breakfast even when you are short on time in the mornings!)

If you are anything like me, you are always on the lookout for ways to sneak more protein into your diet. Increasing your protein intake is a good way to feel full longer (and thereby decrease excessive eating/snacking and cravings).  

Your body is also better at utilizing protein as an energy source which results in decreased “storage” (i.e. fat cells and “problem areas”).

I’m always looking for quick, easy, and delicious ways to consume more protein in my day – and this one is absolutely my favorite go-to.

Today I have teamed up with BodyTech and Vitamin Shoppe to bring you these “Cookies And Cream Protein Balls“. They literally take less than 5 minutes to prepare and provide you with 5 grams of protein per ball.

Trust me – this one will become a standard at your house! …
