A quick and easy recipe featuring spicy buffalo chicken mixed with creamy cheese, stuffed into roasted bell peppers for a comforting and flavorful meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large bell peppers (any color)
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken recommended)
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing (optional)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly oil your baking dish or line it with foil for easier cleanup.
  2. Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, ranch or blue cheese dressing (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well until everything is evenly mixed and creamy.
  4. Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture into each pepper cavity, packing it gently but firmly. Fill to the top, but don’t overstuff to avoid spillover.
  5. Place the stuffed peppers upright in the baking dish. Drizzle a little olive oil over the tops and around the peppers. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  6. Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is bubbly and golden on top. Optionally broil for 2-3 minutes for a crispier cheese crust, watching closely.
  7. Sprinkle sliced green onions over the top for garnish and serve warm.

Notes

If cream cheese isn’t softened, microwave for 15-20 seconds to avoid lumps. Cover peppers during the first part of baking to keep them from drying out. Use leftover rotisserie chicken for convenience. Broil briefly for a crispier cheese topping. Prepping filling the night before enhances flavor. For softer peppers, extend covered baking by 5-10 minutes.
