Ingredients
Scale
4 large bell peppers (any color)
1 pound ground chicken
1 cup cooked, shredded chicken
1/2 cup buffalo sauce
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
Cut the bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. Place them cut-side up in the baking dish.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground chicken and cook until browned. Drain any excess fat.
In a bowl, combine the cooked ground chicken, shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, softened cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Stir in 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese into the chicken mixture.
Spoon the filling evenly into the bell pepper halves.
Top each stuffed pepper with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let them cool slightly before serving.
Notes
You can adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to control the spice level.
Use leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken for a quicker preparation.
For a lower-calorie option, use light cream cheese.
Serve with a side of cool ranch or blue cheese dressing if desired.
