Learn how to make delicious Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Peppers. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 large bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange for sweetness)
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (leftover rotisserie works great)
  • 1 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or rice (optional for extra substance)
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

For a twist, you can substitute the mozzarella with cheddar cheese or add a dash of garlic powder to the mix for an extra layer of flavor.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Slice the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Rub the insides with a tablespoon of olive oil, then season with salt and pepper.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, half of the mozzarella cheese, quinoa or rice if using, green onions, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until everything is well coated.
  4. Stuff each pepper with the chicken mixture, pressing down gently to ensure they’re filled to the top.
  5. Top each stuffed pepper with the remaining mozzarella cheese and a sprinkle of blue cheese.
  6. Place the peppers upright in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the tops.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  8. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Using a mix of colored peppers not only makes this dish visually appealing but also adds a variety of subtle sweetness, enhancing the overall taste.
