Crunchy sweet mini peppers filled with creamy, tangy chicken salad make a quick, healthy, and colorful snack perfect for parties or everyday enjoyment.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12–15 mini sweet peppers, assorted colors
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup celery, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons red onion, finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons dried cranberries

Instructions

  1. Rinse 12-15 mini sweet peppers under cold water and pat dry. Slice each pepper in half lengthwise and remove seeds and membranes.
  2. Shred or finely chop 2 cups of cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine chicken, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, diced celery, and diced red onion. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Add chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, salt (start with 1/2 teaspoon), and pepper (start with 1/4 teaspoon). Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. If desired, stir in chopped walnuts or pecans, or dried cranberries for extra texture and flavor.
  6. Use a small spoon or cookie scoop to fill each mini pepper half with about 2 heaping tablespoons of the chicken salad mixture.
  7. Place stuffed peppers on a serving platter, cover with plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use cold ingredients to keep filling fresh and prevent mushiness. Do not overfill peppers to avoid spills. Chopping celery and onion uniformly improves texture. Fresh dill is recommended but parsley can substitute. Prepare chicken salad up to 24 hours ahead and stuff peppers just before serving. If filling is too thick, add more Greek yogurt or a teaspoon of olive oil. Wipe pepper interiors with paper towel if watery.
