Let’s Make it together

Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) while you prepare those gorgeous bell peppers. This ensures they’re perfectly roasted and ready for stuffing.

Prepare the Bell Peppers: Cut the tops off each pepper and scoop out seeds. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt before placing them cut-side up in a baking dish.

Cook the Chicken Mixture: In a bowl, mix shredded chicken with buffalo sauce, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and half of your shredded cheese until well combined.

Stuff Those Peppers!: Generously fill each bell pepper with the spicy chicken mixture. Don’t be shy—pack it in tightly so every bite is bursting with flavor.

Add More Cheese : Top each stuffed pepper with remaining shredded cheese and sprinkle some chopped green onions on top for that extra touch.

Bake Until Golden Brown: Place the baking dish in your preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. The aroma will have you drooling!
