Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Peppers Recipe
These buffalo chicken stuffed peppers are such an easy low carb dinner. They’re gluten free, creamy, and a little spicy [or extra spicy if you like it that way]. They don’t take much effort to make which is why I love making it for dinner so much!
- Bell Peppers: The most important ingredient in this recipe is obviously the peppers! Feel free to use whichever colors you’d like. I switch it up between red and green
- Shredded Chicken: Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Peppers call for 2 cups of cooked shredded chicken. I would suggest using store bought rotisserie chicken, it’s so good and is such a timesaver.
- Ranch – I add 1/2 cup of Ken’s ranch dressing, I don’t like my food very spicy!
- Plain Greek Yogurt: Plain greek yogurt is used here to make the pepper stuffing as creamy as can be! It’s a similar taste to sour cream, but it’s a healthier alternative. You’ll need 1/2 cup!
- Cream Cheese: You’ll also need cream cheese! I love cream cheese so much. You’ll want to use 4 oz.
- Cheddar Cheese: 3/4 cup of cheddar cheese for the top
- Hot Sauce: You will need 1/3 cup buffalo sauce to make these peppers. I always use Primal Kitchen Buffalo Sauce.
- Minced Garlic: 1/2 tsp Minced Garlic [some people use garlic powder, that’s not always 100% gluten free and my stomach gets affected by it]
- Salt: a little salt to taste!

Tips For Recipe
You can also buy shredded cheddar cheese, you don’t have to shred it yourself if you’re trying to save time.
I use red and green peppers. You can use whatever color you prefer!
To cut the peppers – I recommend cutting around the stem, pulling it out along with the seeds, and then banging the pepper with the opening face down to remove any leftover seeds. Then cut the pepper in half longways.
You can serve these peppers with added hot sauce, ranch, or blue cheese to drizzle on top.
For side dishes, you can make a pasta salad, rice, tortilla chips, coleslaw, or you can just serve them alone, there’s plenty of flavor, and very filling in my opinion!
You can use whichever GF hot sauce you like best. I have used Frank’s Hot Sauce plenty of times and never had an issue, they say it doesn’t use any gluten containing ingredients. I’m linking a website here that has a list of other gluten free hot sauce options.
You can store this recipe in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The peppers will last up to one week!
Okay, so there’s all you need to know about my favorite buffalo chicken stuffed peppers recipe! I hope you give these a try at your next get together, or maybe just for yourself one night! They’re so delicious and filling and ever since I first made them, I crave them all the time!
