2. Interactive Ingredients Checklist & Keto / High-Protein Swaps
The key to this recipe is using high-quality ingredients that are rich in flavor and texture.
I recommend using a high-protein cream cheese and a combination of cheddar cheese and chives for a creamy and savory bite.
The chopped fresh parsley and chives add a fresh and herbaceous note to the dish.

Chef Sofia’s Tested Swaps (High-Protein · Keto/Low-Carb · Air Fryer)
• High-Protein Boost: Replace the cheddar cheese with 1/4 cup of crumbled feta cheese for an extra 8g of protein!
• Keto & Low-Carb Swap: Use 1/4 cup of chopped fresh basil instead of the chives and parsley for a lower-carb option!
• Air Fryer Option: For a lighter option, use the air fryer to cook the chicken and bell peppers at 375°F for 5-6 minutes, shaking halfway through!
