No Rice Stuffed Peppers (with Ground Chicken)

No Rice Stuffed Peppers is the perfect low carb weeknight meal! These healthy bell peppers are stuffed with ground chicken and cauliflower rice.

These stuffed red bell peppers not only look beautiful, but they are SO flavorful! I created a filling with chicken, cauliflower rice, tomato puree, bone broth and seasonings. I topped off the peppers with grated parmesan cheese. Many stuffed pepper recipes call for shredded mozzarella cheese. Personally, I feel as though the mozzarella takes over the pepper. With grated parmesan, you still get that cheesy flavor, but it doesn't overtake the meal.

I swapped out white rice for frozen cauliflower rice for a lower carb option. I promise, you won't miss the rice. The filling still has the classic texture. I love buying my frozen cauliflower rice at Trader Joe's. I keep it on hand to throw into many of my meals for an extra boost of veggies.

4 steps how to make stuffed peppers

Substitutions

  1. Use green or yellow bell peppers in place of red bell peppers in this recipe.
  2. Swap out ground chicken for lean ground beef or ground turkey.
  3. Ditch the parmesan and use vegan cheese or omit it completely for a dairy free version of this recipe.
  4. I highly recommend adding whatever fresh herb you have on hand to garnish. I used fresh thyme on top and it complimented the peppers so well. Fresh basil or parsley would be great also!
  5. Double or triple this recipe for a large crowd.

    Really good, and a refreshing change from the green bell peppers my mom would always make stuffed. I made extra for leftovers!

    Delish! I substituted spicy tomato sauce
    for the tomato purée, but otherwise followed the recipe. My family went crazy for these and already requested that I make again.
