Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Peppers are a flavorful, healthy alternative to traditional buffalo chicken dishes, featuring tender shredded chicken coated in tangy buffalo sauce and stuffed in sweet bell peppers. Topped with green onions and Whole30 ranch dressing, this dish is paleo and Whole30-compliant and makes a satisfying, one-dish meal.

Ingredients

3 large bell peppers – any color, cut in half lengthwise and seeds removed

4 cups cooked shredded chicken (a rotisserie chicken works well)

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

1/2 cup hot sauce or buffalo sauce (Whole30-compatible)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (optional)

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

Whole30 ranch dressing for garnish

Fresh herbs for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  • Cut the bell peppers in half lengthwise, remove the seeds, and arrange them in a baking dish, cut side up.

  • In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, paleo mayonnaise, hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and nutritional yeast (if using). Mix well.

  • Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture into the bell pepper halves, packing it gently.

  • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.

  • Remove the foil and bake for another 5-10 minutes to allow the tops to brown slightly.

  • Once done, remove the peppers from the oven and let them cool slightly.

  • Garnish with fresh green onions, a drizzle of Whole30 ranch dressing, and fresh herbs.

Notes

Add cheese: Top with shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella) in the last few minutes of baking if not following a dairy-free diet.

Add vegetables: Mix in sautéed veggies like spinach, zucchini, or mushrooms for extra texture.

Spicy kick: Add cayenne pepper or use a spicier buffalo sauce for more heat.
