Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large bell peppers, halved and seeded
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup cooked rice
- 1/2 cup bacon bits (turkey bacon works great!)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions

- 2. Spoon the cheesy chicken mixture evenly into the hollowed-out bell pepper halves, packing it in tightly. Arrange the stuffed peppers in a baking dish and pop them in the oven.
- 3. Bake the Loaded Marry Me Chicken Stuffed Peppers for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is hot, bubbly, and the peppers are tender. Keep an eye on them to ensure the tops don’t brown too much.
- 4. Once the peppers are done, remove them from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve these delectable stuffed peppers warm, and get ready for rave reviews from your family and friends!
Notes
Feel free to experiment with different cheese varieties or swap in cooked ground turkey or beef for the chicken. You can also add diced onions, garlic, or other veggies to the filling for extra flavor and nutrition.
You can prepare the stuffed peppers in advance. Assemble them without baking, cover with plastic wrap or foil, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, preheat the oven and cook them as directed, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time if they are cold from the fridge.
