Description
Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Peppers are a delicious and spicy dish filled with ground chicken, buffalo sauce, and topped with melted cheddar cheese, all packed into bell peppers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 cup buffalo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 large bell peppers (any color)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup diced celery
- 1/4 cup diced green onions
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Place the peppers upright in a baking dish.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground chicken until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the buffalo sauce, diced celery, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Stuff each bell pepper with the buffalo chicken mixture, pressing down gently to pack it in. Top each pepper with the remaining cheddar cheese.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the peppers are tender.
- Let the stuffed peppers cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- For a milder flavor, use a mild buffalo sauce or mix in some cream cheese to the chicken mixture.
- You can substitute ground turkey or shredded rotisserie chicken for the ground chicken for a different texture and flavor.
