Keto Approved Chicken Stuffed Peppers Recipe | #Keto

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!

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)

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.
• While the chicken is cooking, cut the bell peppers in half and throw away the seeds.
• Place in baking dish.

• 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.
• Enjoy!
