Why This Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Peppers Recipe Works

---

This recipe puts a fun and flavorful twist on classic stuffed peppers. The bell pepper halves serve as the perfect vessel for the spicy buffalo chicken filling. The combination of tender chicken, tangy buffalo sauce, and melted cheese creates an irresistible flavor profile.

Adding blue cheese crumbles, blue cheese dressing, and fresh green onions takes these stuffed peppers to the next level. While these toppings are optional, they add a delicious cool contrast to the spicy filling.

This recipe is also a great way to meal prep. You can easily make a large batch and freeze the leftovers for future meals. Using a rotisserie chicken significantly simplifies the process, but leftover cooked chicken works just as well. It’s a fantastic way to repurpose cooked chicken and create a new and exciting meal.

Ingredient Information and Substitution Suggestions

Peppers

Choose bell peppers that have a vibrant, deep color and a shiny exterior. You can use any color of bell pepper you prefer. Green bell peppers are the least ripe, while red bell peppers are the ripest and juiciest. Yellow and orange bell peppers fall somewhere in between, with yellow bell peppers being the sweetest.

Chicken

A rotisserie chicken is a perfect shortcut for this recipe. Alternatively, you can cook your own chicken breasts and/or thighs, or use leftover cooked chicken from a previous meal. Using pre-cooked chicken significantly reduces the prep time and makes this a quick and easy dinner option.

Hot Sauce

For the easiest and most flavorful buffalo sauce, use Frank’s RedHot sauce combined with melted butter, onion powder, and garlic powder. This simple combination creates a classic buffalo sauce that perfectly complements the chicken and peppers.

These step-by-step photos and instructions are designed to help you visualize the process. You can jump to the printable recipe card at the bottom of this page for the complete ingredient list and detailed instructions.

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cut each bell pepper in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and pith (the white membrane inside). This will create two “boats” for the filling.
3. Place the bell pepper halves cut-side down on a baking dish or baking sheet. Brush them with olive oil to prevent sticking and help them soften.
4. Bake the peppers for 10-15 minutes to soften them slightly. This pre-baking step ensures that the peppers are tender and cooked through by the time the filling is heated.
5. While the peppers are baking, prepare the buffalo sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the hot sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder. Stir until well combined. This creates a flavorful and spicy base for the chicken filling.
6. In a large bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with the buffalo sauce mixture. Stir until the chicken is completely coated in the sauce.
7. Remove the par-baked bell peppers from the oven and place them cut-side up in a 13×9 inch baking dish. This makes it easier to assemble and bake the stuffed peppers.
8. Add two layers of ingredients to each pepper half: first, a layer of the buffalo chicken mixture, followed by a layer of mozzarella cheese. Repeat with another layer of chicken mixture and then a final layer of mozzarella cheese. This layering technique ensures that each bite is filled with the perfect balance of chicken, sauce, and cheese.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown. The cheese should be bubbly and slightly browned for the best flavor and texture.
10. Remove from the oven and serve topped with a drizzle of blue cheese dressing and blue cheese crumbles (optional). These toppings add a cool and tangy contrast to the spicy filling. Green onions also add a fresh touch.
