A quick and easy recipe combining spicy buffalo chicken with a creamy cheese filling stuffed inside fresh bell peppers, perfect for a satisfying and flavorful meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large bell peppers (preferably red or orange)
  • 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken breast (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons ranch or blue cheese dressing
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Slice the tops off the bell peppers and remove seeds and membranes. If needed, shave a small slice off the bottom so they stand upright. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, ranch or blue cheese dressing, minced garlic, and half of the chopped green onions. Stir until evenly coated and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add more buffalo sauce if desired for extra heat.
  4. Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture into each pepper cavity, packing tightly but gently, filling to the top.
  5. Place the stuffed peppers standing up in a baking dish, spacing evenly.
  6. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, until peppers are tender and filling is bubbly and golden on top.
  7. Optional: In the last 5 minutes, sprinkle crumbled blue cheese over the top and return to oven.
  8. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Soften cream cheese before mixing to avoid lumps. Shred chicken finely for easier stuffing. Tent peppers with foil if browning too quickly. Blanch peppers for 2 minutes in boiling water to soften before stuffing to reduce bake time. Rotate baking dish halfway for even cooking.
