A quick and easy recipe featuring bell peppers stuffed with spicy buffalo chicken and creamy blue cheese, perfect for game day or a satisfying dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large bell peppers (any color)
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (about 300g)
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (120 ml)
  • 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles (75g)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened (115g)
  • 2 tablespoons ranch dressing (optional)
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese (50g)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh chives or parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Slice the tops off the bell peppers and remove seeds and membranes. Trim the bottoms slightly if needed to help them stand upright.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
  4. Fold in half of the blue cheese crumbles gently.
  5. Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture evenly into each pepper without overstuffing.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining blue cheese and shredded mozzarella or cheddar over the tops of the stuffed peppers.
  7. Place the peppers in a baking dish and bake for 25–30 minutes until peppers are tender and cheese topping is bubbly and golden. Cover loosely with foil if cheese browns too fast.
  8. Let the peppers rest for 5 minutes after baking. Garnish with fresh chives or parsley before serving.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth mixing. Adjust buffalo sauce amount to control spiciness. Do not overbake peppers to avoid mushiness. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and can be frozen for up to 2 months. For dairy-free, swap cheeses with vegan alternatives. For vegetarian, substitute chicken with cauliflower or chickpeas.
