Ingredients
  

4 large bell peppers (any color)

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced

1 cup Greek yogurt or mayonnaise (for creaminess)

1/2 cup celery, finely chopped

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup sweet pickle relish or chopped dill pickles

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup grapes or apples, chopped (optional for sweetness)

Fresh herbs (parsley or cilantro) for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peppers: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Place the peppers open side up in a baking dish.

    Make the Chicken Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), celery, red onion, pickle relish, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and any optional fruits. Mix well to combine.

      Season: Add salt and pepper to taste, adjusting according to preference. If you like it zestier, feel free to add more mustard or pickles.

        Stuff the Peppers: Generously fill each bell pepper with the chicken salad mixture. Use a spoon to pack the mixture down slightly, ensuring each pepper is fully loaded.

          Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes for a slightly toasted top.

            Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.

              Enjoy: Serve warm or allow to cool completely for a refreshing cold option. These stuffed peppers are perfect for meal prep or a light lunch!
