Ingredients

  • 8–10 mini bell peppers (assorted colors)

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast (rotisserie or homemade)

  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (for creaminess)

  • 2 tablespoons light mayonnaise (optional, for extra flavor)

  • 1/4 cup celery, finely chopped

  • 2 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped

  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (plus extra for garnish)

  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (plus extra for garnish)

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Directions

  • Prepare the Peppers:

      • Wash the mini bell peppers and slice them in half lengthwise.
      • Remove the seeds and membranes to create little "boats."
  • Make the Chicken Salad:

      • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise (if using), celery, red onion, dill, and parsley.
      • Add Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.
  • Stuff the Peppers:

      • Spoon the chicken salad mixture into each mini bell pepper half, filling them generously.
  • Garnish and Serve:

      • Top with extra chopped dill and parsley for freshness.
      • Arrange the stuffed peppers on a serving tray and enjoy immediately!
