Ingredients You’ll Need
These keto stuffed bell peppers are packed with seasoned chicken, cauliflower rice, creamy Alfredo sauce, and mozzarella cheese for a delicious low carb twist on a classic pasta dish.
- Olive oil – You could use any light tasting oil.
- Bell peppers – You can use any color you like. Make sure to grab a few extras and try our taco stuffed peppers, Philly cheese steak stuffed peppers, keto jambalaya stuffed peppers, lasagna stuffed peppers, or meat lovers’ pizza stuffed peppers too.
- Chicken breast – We use boneless, skinless breasts for this.
- Spices – You’ll need onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and Kosher salt.
- Keto Alfredo sauce – Though traditional alfredo is keto naturally, a lot of store varieties are not due to added sugars. We have a great keto recipe you can make at home but if you’re in a hurry just make sure you check the labels on the Alfredo sauce you buy.
- Cauliflower rice – You should be able to find this in the fresh, refrigerated section of produce or frozen in the frozen food aisle.
- Cheeses – You’ll need both Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese.
Instructions
Step 1 – Prepare the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Step 2 – Prep the peppers. As the oven heats, remove the top of the bell pepper and throw away the stem piece and then use a spoon to remove all of the seeds.
Once you remove the seeds, drizzle a ½ teaspoon olive oil over each pepper and use your fingers to rub the oil all over the inside and outside. Next, lightly sprinkle with salt, dividing 1 teaspoon between all 4 peppers.
Finally, place the prepared peppers on a baking sheet and bake them in the oven for 15 minutes.
Step 3 – Brown the chicken. As the peppers bake, heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to it. Next, place the cubed chicken breast into the pan and sprinkle with the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
Continue to cook until the chicken is cooked through.
Note: If your pan has a lot of browned bits stuck to the bottom after cooking the chicken you can transfer the chicken to a plate and wipe out the bottom of the pan (or switch to a new pan if you prefer). Then add a little olive oil to the pan and return the chicken to it before continuing on with the recipe.
Step 4 – Cook the cauliflower rice. Once the chicken has cooked through, pour in the keto Alfredo sauce and cauliflower rice. Stir until well mixed and then cook until the cauliflower rice is tender, approximately 5 minutes.
Finally, remove from the heat and stir in the Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses.
Step 5 – Stuff and bake the peppers. Carefully remove the cooked peppers from the oven and stuff each with equal amounts of the chicken alfredo mixture.
Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese before placing the stuffed peppers into the oven to bake for 15 minutes.
Remove the stuffed peppers from the oven and serve hot from the oven.
Is Alfredo Sauce Keto?
Yes, traditional Alfredo sauce is a keto fat bomb.
Unfortunately, many of the store bought varieties have added thickeners that can increase the carb counts in them. We highly recommend making our keto Alfredo sauce at home and adding it to your stuffed peppers so you know exactly what went into it.
If you don’t have the extra time then just make sure you read the labels and choose the most keto-friendly version you can find.
Other Alternatives
Alfredo sauce can be pretty versatile.
One of our favorite ways to jazz up these peppers is to use our Creole blackened chicken that we used in our Keto cajun chicken Alfredo. It is a little spicy and totally delicious!
Just cook it ahead of time, cut it up, and add it to the dish in place of the chicken breast listed in the ingredients!
You can also sub sweet or hot Italian sausage for the chicken if you like. Even ground beef can work with some meatball seasonings thrown in too.
If you don’t want to use cauliflower rice, there are lots of alternatives. You could use heart of palm noodles or heart of palm rice. Or, you could just steam some broccoli, chop it up, and use that in place of the cauliflower.
And if you don’t keep keto, you can also use regular white or brown rice instead of the cauliflower.
How to Make it Ahead of Time
You can stuff the peppers and then store them in the refrigerator in a sealed container for 1 to 2 days before baking them according to the instructions.
You can also bake them ahead of time and then let them cool completely before storing in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge.
To reheat, place them on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degree F for 20 to 25 minutes or until warmed through. You could also place them in the microwave for 2 to 3 minutes or until warmed through.
