Equipment

  • 1 Baking Dish large
  • 1 Skillet medium
  • 1 Mixing Bowl large

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large bell peppers any color
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast shredded
  • 1 cup buffalo sauce
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 1/4 cup crispy bacon bits

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F. Prepare a large baking dish by spraying it lightly with cooking spray.
  • Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Place them upright in the prepared baking dish.

Make the Filling

  • In a medium skillet, cook the chicken breasts over medium heat until fully cooked. Shred the chicken using two forks or a stand mixer.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, softened cream cheese, and half of the mozzarella cheese. Stir until fully incorporated.

Stuff and Bake

  • Evenly spoon the buffalo chicken mixture into each bell pepper, filling them to the top.
  • Top each pepper with the remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is bubbling and golden.

Serving

  • Remove the peppers from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with optional add-ins like green onions or blue cheese if desired.

Storage

  • Store any leftover stuffed peppers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat before serving.
