Ingredients
- 4 large bell peppers, tops cut off and seeds removed
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
Instructions
- Prepare the Peppers: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes to create hollow shells for stuffing.
- Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce and softened cream cheese until the mixture is uniform and creamy.
- Stuff the Peppers: Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture into each hollowed-out pepper until they are filled completely.
- Bake: Place the stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the peppers are tender and the filling is heated through and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Optionally, garnish with chopped green onions or a drizzle of ranch or blue cheese dressing for added flavor.
Notes
- You can use any color bell peppers depending on your preference for sweetness and color.
- For an extra cheesy version, sprinkle shredded cheddar or mozzarella on top before baking.
- For a milder flavor, reduce the amount of buffalo sauce or substitute with a mild wing sauce.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
- This recipe pairs well with a side salad or celery sticks for a classic buffalo wing experience.
