Healthy Greek Stuffed Peppers. Easy to make peppers stuffed with chicken, veggies, and Greek spices!
The concept of stuffed peppers is amazing: take a flavorful pepper, stuff whatever the heck you want in it, bake it, and voila! Dinner is served.
These peppers are not only a great weeknight meal, but they can also be a part of your meal prep routine. Make them on Sunday and pack them for school/work lunches!
My greek inspiration for these comes from the fact that I through greek seasoning on almost everything. Plain chicken? Greek seasoning. Potatoes? Greek seasoning. Broccoli? Greek seasoning.
It legit makes everything taste complex, delicious, and like you spent forever making it – even though all you did was shake some greek seasoning on it.
Even though I don’t use the pre bottled seasoning for this recipe, it definitely inspired me to create this recipe. And hey, if you don’t want to use the spices I list below, you could easily sub a tablespoon or two of it! It’d work great!
So next time you need an easy weeknight dinner or get bored of your traditional meal prep routine, try out these Greek Stuffed Peppers! You won’t regret it.
