Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large bell peppers (any color)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, plus 1/4 cup for topping
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo wing sauce (adjust to your spice preference)
  • 2 tablespoons ranch or blue cheese dressing (optional)
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Cut the bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. Place the pepper halves cut-side up in the prepared baking dish.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground chicken. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook the chicken, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is fully browned and no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease.
  4. Reduce the heat to low. Add the softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and the Buffalo wing sauce to the skillet with the cooked ground chicken. Stir until the cream cheese is melted and everything is well combined and creamy. Stir in the ranch or blue cheese dressing if you are using it.
  5. Spoon the Buffalo chicken filling evenly into the hollowed-out pepper halves.
  6. Top each stuffed pepper with the remaining 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. If using, sprinkle the panko breadcrumbs over the cheese.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is hot and bubbly.
  8. Let the stuffed peppers cool slightly before serving.
