Ingredients
  

2 large bell peppers (any color)

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise, for a richer taste)

1/4 cup celery, finely chopped

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup grapes, halved (or diced apples for a crunch)

1/4 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped (optional)

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley or dill, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peppers: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Lightly brush the exterior with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Place the peppers upright in a baking dish.

    Make the Chicken Salad: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Greek yogurt, celery, red onion, grapes, and walnuts (if using). Add the Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and mix well. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.

      Stuff the Peppers: Spoon the chicken salad mixture into each bell pepper, packing it lightly. Make sure the filling is heaped over the top of the peppers for a delicious presentation.

        Bake the Peppers: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the peppers to soften and the filling to warm through.

          Garnish and Serve: Once the peppers are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or dill before serving. Enjoy your delicious and healthy stuffed peppers!
