Mexican Chicken Stuffed Peppers
Nov 17, 2025 04:30 PM
Chicken stuffed peppers are one of the best healthy weeknight dinner recipes of all time! Bell peppers are gently broiled and stuffed with tender chicken, cauliflower rice, fresh pico and avocado.
I’m always looking for really simple meals that my whole family will enjoy. Anything that’s 20 minutes or less is a go-to recipe, especially on busy weeknights.
To make this recipe, leftover chicken is cooked and seasoned with a fast homemade fajita seasoning, onion, garlic, and canned tomatoes, then stuffed inside quickly broiled bell peppers.
I promise, these stuffed peppers are definitely a weeknight win! It’s a super quick meal to make. It comes together in about 20 minutes if you use some of the shortcuts I talk about.
This dinner is a fabulous way to use up leftover chicken breasts or other leftover chicken. Reduce that food waste and repurpose leftovers!
If you need to increase your veggie intake, stuffed peppers are a great way to do just that. It’s actually one of my favorite ways to eat veggies.
