Supreme Pizza Stuffed Bell Peppers [Low Carb, Easy Dinner Recipe]

10/14/2024

Sometimes you want pizza... well wait a minute- I always want pizza. How about you? :)
But I do try to eat low carb most days of the week so making stuffed bell peppers for dinner has always been one of my favorites. It's warm and feeling and feels like a comfort meal but is actually pretty healthy- depending on what your definition of healthy is.

I first made this version of stuffed bell peppers back in 2019, thankfully my photography skills have improved since then. Before reels/videos were all the rage. I am going back through all of my old recipes and revisiting them so I can take what I would consider at least, better photos. SO all that being said here these are again years later and looking even better than before!

I will say when I filmed this I accidentally cut myself on the black olive container so I am just gonna say be careful with that thing! Sheesh that hurt. But these peppers were worth it! Just be careful ;)

When you're craving pizza but trying to keep it low carb. These peppers really hit the spot!

Place the mixture inside the bell peppers.
For the toppings -add as much or as little toppings as you'd like.
Add extra cheese on top of the bell peppers.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cheese has melted.

Chicken Caesar Salad Lettuce Tacos with Garlic Butter Croutons [Low Carb, Easy Lunch Recipe]

7/30/2024

First off! Look I realize there are no tortillas in sight. But it felt wrong calling these 'lettuce wraps' or lettuce cups.. since they are definitely not a cup. And also very much not wrapped. Also not a lettuce boat- so I landed on taco. You get me? Soooo if that's all okay with you, lets move forward shall we? And by the way, call these whatever you'd like. But whatever you do- just make them cause what they are is delicious!

Y'all I have been on a real caesar salad kick lately. Caesar salad-ifying everything I can. So many more recipes coming soon that I can't wait to share with you!

What you'll need for these lettuce 'tacos':

Romaine Lettuce
Garlic butter croutons
Shredded Chicken
Caesar dressing, use your favorite!
Parmesan
Black pepper

Refreshing, crunchy and so satisfying!

Chicken Caesar Salad Lettuce Tacos w/ Garlic Butter Croutons
Recipe by The Daily Kale aka Krysten Jorgensen

Ingredients:

1/2 cup Shredded chicken, cooked
Romaine lettuce
1-2 tbsp. Caesar dressing
2-3 tbsp. Parmesan, grated
Black pepper

Directions:

In a bowl mix together your shredded chicken, caesar dressing, grated Parmesan, a little bit of fresh cracked black pepper and stir until combined.
Place the mixture in the lettuce leaves.
Top w/ extra cheese, black pepper, dressing and croutons.

️Garlic butter:

2-3 cloves of garlic (chopped)
1/2 stick of Butter (room temp)
2-3 tbsp. fresh Parsley- chopped
1 tbsp. Parmesan
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of dried basil
Pinch of dried oregano

Directions:

In a bowl add all of the ingredients above and mix together until combined.

*Store in an air tight container in the fridge to have on hand so you can make these anytime ;)

Garlic butter croutons:

1 Piece of bread
1-2 tbsp. Garlic butter

Directions:

Cut bread into small squares.
Lightly toast the bread in a pan for 1 minute.
Take out and add your garlic butter to the pan, melt.
Once the garlic butter has melted add your pieces of bread to the pan and stir to coat. Add more garlic butter if needed. *The amount of garlic butter depends on the size of your bread.
Place your garlic butter coated bread pieces in your air fryer.
Air fry at 380 or 2-3 minutes or until crispy.

*Please keep in mind you will need to keep an eye on them so that they don't burn, everyone's air fryer cooks differently.

Notes:

I used romaine lettuce for this but butter lettuce or iceberg would work fine also!
I used keto friendly/low carb bread for this to keep these low carb but you can use whichever bread you prefer!
I used shredded chicken for this that I made that is well seasoned, please ensure the chicken you are using is not plain or this will lack flavor.
I used a store-bought caesar dressing but use whatever caesar dressing is your favorite!

Leave a comment below if you're excited to make this! This makes the perfect lunch on a hot day like today! I hope yall enjoy and follow me on Tiktok/Instagram @thedailykale / tag me with your re-creations! I love to see them :)
