    Tasty chicken florentine stuffed peppers make a hearty low carb and gluten free dinner. A simple dish packed full of the flavour of spinach and cheese. Add chicken, a few Italian spices and you have a family favourite dinner.

    The Chief Taster called this a hearty main course but that's probably because I gave him two large stuffed peppers rather than one with a side salad or vegetables.   He ate them all though.   It's an easy dish to make and full of flavour.   It calls for cooked chicken and I used steamed cooked chicken as I find steaming the chicken keeps it moist (says the vegetarian!).   You can serve this with a side salad, cauliflower rice, veggies or a nice tomato sauce.  Or just eat it on its own.

    Chicken Florentine Stuffed Peppers

    Low carb and gluten free, this is a great supper dish with no guilt! Huzzah!   You could play around with the cheese ingredient too, as I think this would be nice with a few tablespoons of ricotta in the stuffing mix.  I might play around with this the next time I make it...... The ingredients below are for two so you would need to adjust it accordingly, depending upon how many people you are cooking for.
