Today I’m excited to share one of my all-time favorite recipes with you: Chicken Salad Stuffed Protein Peppers. This dish is more than just a tasty treat; it’s a trip down memory lane that’s perfect for any occasion, whether you’re post-workout or prepping for a potluck.
Let me take you back to high school. After those grueling track practices, my mom would always whip up this incredible chicken salad. It was my go-to reward and a light, protein-packed meal that I absolutely loved. As I moved through college and into adulthood, this recipe stayed with me. It’s become my favorite way to refuel after hitting the gym and has made appearances at countless gatherings.
One of the best parts about this recipe is how easy it is to make. You start by mixing Greek yogurt with Super Youth Unflavored Collagen Powder, Dijon mustard, and rice vinegar. This combination creates a creamy, tangy base that’s seasoned perfectly with salt and pepper. Fresh parsley adds a burst of flavor and color, making the salad even more vibrant.
The real magic happens when you mix in the shredded rotisserie chicken, crunchy celery, and a medley of fresh veggies like scallions, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber. Stuff this delicious mix into halved bell peppers—red, yellow, and orange for a pop of color. The peppers add a satisfying crunch and a fresh twist that makes each bite a little celebration.
Now, let’s talk about the secret ingredient: Super Youth Unflavored Collagen Powder. I started using it to boost the protein content of my meals, and it’s been a game-changer. Just a scoop blends seamlessly into the chicken salad without altering the flavor, giving it an extra nutritional boost that I love.
Whether you’re using these stuffed peppers as a post-workout snack, a standout appetizer at your next gathering, or just a light and healthy meal, they’re sure to impress. The combination of flavors and textures is delightful, and the protein-packed filling will keep you satisfied.
So give this recipe a try, and let me know how much you enjoy it! Here’s to delicious, protein-packed moments and a dish that’s been a favorite for years. Happy cooking!
