1. Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Bell Peppers
Ingredients
- 4 large bell peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
- 1/2 cup hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
- 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (or shredded cheddar cheese)
- 1/4 cup diced celery
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken, onion, celery, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, about 8-10 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the hot sauce, oregano, salt, and black pepper until the chicken is well coated.
Arrange the bell pepper halves in a baking dish or on a rimmed baking sheet. Evenly distribute the buffalo chicken mixture into the bell pepper halves, pressing it down gently to pack it in.
Top each stuffed bell pepper with the crumbled blue cheese (or shredded cheddar cheese).
Bake the stuffed bell peppers in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bell peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the stuffed bell peppers from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve these Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Bell Peppers hot, garnished with additional hot sauce, chopped green onions, or a sprinkle of fresh parsley, if desired.
The combination of the spicy buffalo chicken, the crisp bell pepper, and the creamy, tangy blue cheese (or cheddar) creates a flavor profile that is both comforting and exciting. This dish is sure to become a new your family favorite, as it’s easy to prepare, packed with nutrients, and absolutely delicious.
