Tips

  • Please note that some filling may come out of the peppers during the baking process. Using a spoon, the filling can be pushed back into the peppers gently prior to serving. And the calorie count on these is based on 18 stuffed mini peppers.
  • You can make chicken, either by cooking or baking it, and then shred it yourself, but a rotisserie chicken from your local grocery store is such a time saver. Or if you have leftover chicken from a previous meal, this would be a great use for it.
  • You could also make these stuffed peppers in an air fryer.

I hope you enjoy this chicken and cream cheese stuffed sweet peppers.
