Colorful, protein-packed stuffed peppers were inspired by a yoga and meditation retreat I attended in the Greek Islands. One evening, this beautiful Mediterranean-inspired meal was served overlooking the sea, and I knew I had to recreate it at home! My clients also love it because it’s easy to prepare, packed with protein, and perfect for meal prep.
This Mediterranean-inspired dish is loaded with ingredients that nourish your body from the inside out. Organic chicken provides high-quality protein to support lean muscle, metabolism, and healthy blood sugar balance. Bell peppers are rich in vitamin C, which supports collagen production, immune health, and healthy skin. Garlic and onions contain sulfur compounds that support heart health and the body’s natural detoxification pathways, while tomatoes provide lycopene, a powerful antioxidant associated with healthy aging.
I love using spices when I cook and za'atar is a staple in my home. It’s a fragrant Middle Eastern spice blend traditionally made with thyme, oregano, sesame seeds, and sumac. Rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory plant compounds, it adds incredible flavor while bringing the health benefits of Mediterranean herbs to every bite.
Serve these stuffed peppers on their own, add rice or keep them grain-free, or top them with feta, hummus, or tzatziki and fresh parsley for a delicious meal the whole family will enjoy.
