Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large bell peppers, any color, halved and seeded
  • 2 cups (about 300g) cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken recommended)
  • 4 ounces (115g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (100g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) buffalo sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) ranch dressing
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped green onions or chives (optional, for garnish)
  • Olive oil for brushing peppers

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet or oven-safe dish with parchment paper.
  2. Slice each bell pepper in half lengthwise and remove seeds and membranes. Place cut-side up on the baking sheet. Lightly brush or spray the insides with olive oil and sprinkle a pinch of salt.
  3. Roast the peppers for 10 minutes to soften slightly but still hold their shape.
  4. While peppers roast, in a large bowl combine shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until creamy and evenly mixed. Add a splash of ranch or milk if too thick.
  5. Remove peppers from oven and fill each half with a generous scoop of the buffalo chicken mixture without overfilling.
  6. Return stuffed peppers to the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes until cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
  7. Let peppers cool for a few minutes, then garnish with chopped green onions or chives if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

Soften cream cheese at room temperature for smooth mixing. Roast peppers first to soften but keep shape. Add extra shredded cheese on top in last 5 minutes for more meltiness. Adjust buffalo sauce and ranch dressing to control heat level. Use rotisserie chicken for convenience. For dairy-free, substitute cheeses with vegan alternatives. Watch peppers closely during final bake to avoid overcooking.
