Stuffed Peppers

Ground Chicken Stuffed Peppers

May 3, 2017 by Rebecca Rosati

I love stuffed peppers, it’s one of my go to meals. Stuffed Peppers are a great weeknight meal that can be stuffed with just about anything.

These ground chicken stuffed peppers are full of flavor and filled with chicken seasoned with cumin, tomato, black beans, and rice if you desire. I top with a little cheese and right before eating I add a generous scoop of sour cream and garnish with cilantro. This low-carb meal is certain to fill you up without skipping anything on taste leaving you completely satisfied.

For these stuffed peppers, cut peppers in half lengthwise for an easier way to stuff and eat.
