Keto Approved Cream Cheese Stuffed Peppers

As you might already know I have been eating Keto approved since January. Every so often my husband and I cheat a little – a pizza one night, maybe some ice cream another, but we have found and created some AMAZING dinner recipes that have made Keto living super easy for us.

A lot of friends and readers have been asking me about Keto, so I decided to share some of my favorite recipes here, starting with Chicken & Cream Cheese Stuffed Peppers. This is a meal even my kids devour – and ask for! Yum!

Keto Approved Stuffed Peppers Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds chicken breasts
  • 4 bell peppers (any color)
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese (Philadelphia seems to have the lowest carbs by comparison)
  • 8 oz shredded cheddar cheese (take block cheese and shred yourself to avoid unnecessary carbs)
  • 2 tablespoons Cumin
  • 1/2 Cup Medium Salsa (optional)

Keto Approved Stuffed Peppers

Directions

  • Set oven to 350 degrees.
  • Cut the chicken breast into small pieces and cook it in extra virgin olive oil on the stove top.

  • Soften cream cheese and mix in cumin and cheddar cheese. Add chicken. Once thoroughly mixed, add in salsa if desired.
  • Fill pepper halves with stuffing mix.
  • Cover in foil and bake for 45 minutes.
