Cheese. So versatile. So delicious. So perfect for low carb, high fat and keto dieting. I’ve made no secret of the fact that I love cheese in all its forms – and I know most of you guys are right there with me. This keto Cheesy Chicken Stuffed Poblano recipe is hearty, super cheesy (of course), slightly spicy, and very, very satisfying!

I chose to use store bought rotisserie chicken to make this recipe incredibly simple to throw together on a weeknight. Now if you are looking for a way to make this even easier, there is no need to stuff the peppers with the mixture (though I recommend it because it’s awesome!)

You can simply stir some chopped roasted poblanos (or canned green chilis if you really want to get lazy about it) into the cheesy chicken mixture and bake it in a casserole dish! Just as tasty, but not quite as impressive visually.

This keto cheesy chicken stuffed poblano recipe is excellent for my fellow low carbers, but I can pretty much guarantee that the rest of the family will love it too! To round this out for the carb eaters in the house, you could serve it with some rice, corn or flour tortillas, or even just some tortilla chips.

Dinner = done. ?

In addition, this keto cheesy chicken stuffed poblano recipe reheats really really well (I ate it three days in a row so you can trust me on this one, it just got better and better), so it’s perfect to make ahead and take for lunch if you have a microwave handy to reheat it.
