Ingredients

  • 3 bell peppers
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 4 cups cooked shredded chicken I used a whole rotisserie chicken
  • ½ cup buffalo sauce
  • ½ cup ranch dressing
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • green onions thinly sliced, for garnish
  • crumbled blue cheese optional, for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C.
  • Prep the peppers, slice them in half, and remove the membrane and the seeds.
  • Place on a baking tray or in a casserole dish, drizzle with olive oil and brush it all over the peppers. Season with salt and pepper. Cook in the oven until they’re just undercooked, about 10 minutes.
  • As the peppers are being roasted, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir to combine.
  • Remove the peppers from the oven, and carefully fill them with the prepared filling. Return to the oven and cook for 5 more minutes, then place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven, and top with crumbled blue cheese and/or ranch dressing, and sliced green onions.

Notes

  • You can add rice if you want to. Replace some of the chicken with the same amount of cooked rice to make the filling fluffy and lighter.
  • Instead of ranch dressing, try this recipe with blue cheese dressing instead!
  • Any kind of cooked chicken can be used in this recipe. It's perfect for leftovers!
  • To Store: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months.
