Healthy Chicken Salad Bell Peppers
So healthy, fresh and delicious we can’t stop eating these.
I’m telling you these are my favorite lunch time meal because I always tend to have these ingredients on hand and I sub in tuna fish on the days I haven’t prepped any grilled chicken or can’t get my hands on a rotisserie chicken. This is so satisfying, fresh and delicious, I go back to it every time.

Omg. Exactly what I was looking for! Filling and delicious..and so easy!
Hi Cin, thanks for trying them! Glad they were enjoyed!
Made chicken salad pepper cups for dinner tonight. My critique, the filling is super delicious 😋 but the pepper (and I like bell peppers) is overpowering. I would make again, add some pepper to the filings and make them in lettuce wraps. I’ll also use the filing served over spinach salad 😋
HI Melapin, I feel you. They can have that feel to them for some people! Definitely always customize to your own preference and thanks for trying out the recipe!
So easy to make ! Great flavors!
I made this with cucumber instead of tomatoes because of a tomato allergy in my household. I also used balsamic vinegar because I didn’t have sriracha sauce.
Wow! I loved it. The avocado was definitely my favorite ingredient.
Hi Angela, glad you liked the simple recipe and thanks for the kind rating!
