These Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Peppers offer a delightful combination of heat and flavor, featuring shredded chicken tossed in a spicy buffalo sauce, all nestled inside sweet bell peppers and topped with melted cheese.

Ingredients
- 4 large bell peppers (any color)
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for drizzling
Instructions
- Prep the Peppers: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Place the peppers upright in a baking dish.
- Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, half of the cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Stuff the Peppers: Spoon the chicken mixture into each bell pepper, pressing down gently to pack it in. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese.
- Bake: Drizzle a little olive oil over the stuffed peppers and cover the baking dish with foil. Bake for 25-30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the peppers are tender.
- Serve: Let the peppers cool slightly before serving. Garnish with extra green onions if desired.
