Buffalo Chicken gets slow cooked and stuffed into bell peppers for a filling and totally satisfying Whole30 compliant meal prep!
Who doesn’t love Buffalo chicken? Though admittedly delicious, this dish is typically pretty heavy, greasy, and calorie-dense. (It's often messy, too, and this version isn't, but that's another story!) So we took it upon ourselves to come up with a lighter version that skips the deep fryer and utilizes a base of freshly roasted bell pepper boats in place of heavily fried potatoes. Consider it an upgrade on the concept of stuffed peppers, but with a totally different and fun flavor profile than the typical stuffed pepper!
Plus, if you stick to our specific suggestions, we managed to keep this buffalo chicken meal prep recipe entirely Whole30-compliant. Keep reading, we promise to share all our secrets!
This meal prep recipe requires a fairly long cooking time because of the use of a slow cooker, but almost all of that time is completely passive. And that's our favorite kind of prep. You can start the chicken and let it do its thing. Everything comes together pretty quickly and easily once the slow cooker portion is complete.
Pro tip: take care of Step 1 in the morning before you take the kids to school or run your errands, and finish up the quick 30 minutes of final prep in the afternoon. The slow-cooked chicken will be ready to go, cooked perfectly, and fork-tender.
This Buffalo chicken is easy, fuss-free, and completely delicious. It’s become one of our favorite meal prep recipes, and we hope you’ll love it, too.
