Print Recipe

A quick and easy recipe featuring spicy buffalo chicken mixed with creamy cheese, stuffed into roasted bell peppers for a comforting and flavorful dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large bell peppers (any color, preferably red or orange)
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (about 280g)
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup buffalo sauce (about 80ml)
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (110g)
  • 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped green onions for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Slice each bell pepper in half lengthwise and remove seeds and membranes. Lightly brush or toss the pepper halves in olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Place them cut side up in a baking dish.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until evenly coated and creamy. Add more buffalo sauce or a splash of milk if mixture is too thick.
  4. Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture evenly into each pepper half, packing it in but not overflowing. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top, and add blue cheese crumbles if using.
  5. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes until peppers are tender but still hold shape and cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
  6. Let the peppers cool for a few minutes, then garnish with chopped green onions before serving.

Notes

Do not overcook the peppers to keep them tender but firm. Use shredded chicken that is moist to avoid dry filling. Softened cream cheese mixes easier. Adjust buffalo sauce to control spice level. Tent with foil halfway through baking if cheese browns too quickly. Broil 2-3 minutes at the end for a crispy cheese crust if desired.
