Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Peppers - Dairy Free & Low Carb
Ingredients
- 3 large bell peppers – any color
cut in half lengthwise and seeds removed

either homemade or store bought avocado mayo
- 1/2 cup hot sauce or buffalo sauce – I love Frank’s red hot
but a Whole30 compatible buffalo sauce also works
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
optional
- 1 bunch of green onions
white and light green parts thinly sliced – plus more for garnish

You'll bite into vibrant bell peppers overflowing with a creamy, spicy buffalo chicken filling. The robust kick of hot sauce or buffalo sauce is perfectly balanced by savory garlic and onion powder, creating a depth of flavor that's both comforting and exciting.

Customization & Variations
Feel free to adjust the spice level by using more or less hot sauce or selecting your preferred buffalo sauce.

If you don't have nutritional yeast, simply omit it; the core flavors will still shine through. Experiment with different bell pepper colors to add visual appeal to your plate.
