Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad Stuffed Peppers
Ever feel like you’re stuck in a lunch rut? Greek yogurt chicken salad stuffed peppers to the rescue. The lightened-up chicken salad still has all the creamy, tangy flavor you crave—minus the heaviness of mayo. Plus, the recipe makes a giant batch, so you can use the leftovers all week long.
For ultimate ease, start with a store-bought rotisserie chicken. Otherwise, cook a few bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts, thighs or a mixture using your preferred method—we like oven roasting. Serving the salad in bell pepper boats makes it ultra kid-friendly, but it’s totally optional. (Hey, sandwiches are tasty too.)
