- Chicken Breast - You can also swap for rotisserie chicken to save time!
- Bell Peppers - Any bell pepper color will work. (Red, yellow, orange, or green.)
- Red Onion - If you're not a fan of red onion, you can swap for sweet onion.
- Barbeque Sauce - I used Primal Kitchen Hawaiian BBQ Sauce, but any BBQ sauce will work! I love that theirs is lower in sugar and made with quality ingredients.
- Cauliflower Rice- Fresh or frozen! You can also swap for regular rice or do half and half.
- Chopped Cilantro - You'll need freshly chopped cilantro for the filling and to top the cooked peppers.
- Lime - I use lime juice in the filling and also serve slices on the side with the stuffed peppers.
🍴Step by Step Instructions
Step 1: Poaching Chicken
Start by poaching the chicken breast for about 10 minutes. (Or until cooked thoroughly.)
Step 2: Stuffed Pepper Filling
Next, make the filling by adding chopped red onion to a skillet. Sauté for a few minutes and then add in cauliflower rice, lime juice, and cilantro. Cook for a few more minutes.

Step 7: Grilling Peppers
Add the peppers to a pre-heated grill and cook until peppers are tender, and the bottom is charred. Serve hot!
Expert Tips
- Use a hand mixer to shred the chicken faster.
- If you have leftover filling, serve over top of the stuffed peppers.
- Test the filling before stuffing the peppers! If it needs more salt or spice, stir it in.
- Top them with your favoritedairy-free cheese! (Or regular cheese if you can tolerate dairy.)Sprinkle it on before they go into the oven.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze stuffed peppers?
Yes! Stuffed peppers can be made in bulk, and frozen for a rainy day. (Or a lazy day!) Just defrost and heat them up in the oven.
What should I serve with stuffed peppers?
I usually serve them on their own, but if you want some extra greens, serve with afresh salad! (Or stir in some spinach with the filling mixture.) You can also serve them with a side of Cilantro Rice.

Serving Suggestions
I would recommend serving them with avocado or fresh guacamole! You can also serve them over a bed of Cilantro Rice for added bulk and flavor.
