Ingredients
4 large bell peppers, any color
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great!)
½ cup buffalo sauce (adjust to your preferred spice level)
1/3 cup cream cheese, softened

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles (optional, for topping)
Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional
Instructions
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
-
Prepare the Peppers: Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Drizzle the peppers with olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Place the peppers in the baking dish, cut-side up.
-
Make the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until everything is well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more buffalo sauce for extra heat if desired.
-
Stuff the Peppers: Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture into each pepper, packing it tightly. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese and sprinkle with blue cheese crumbles if using.
-
Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the peppers are tender. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes to melt the cheese and allow it to brown slightly.
-
Garnish & Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
