1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Β½ teaspoon kosher salt

Β½ teaspoon garlic powder

ΒΎ cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese

Β½ cup crumbled feta or blue cheese

Instructions

4-Fourth Step: Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture evenly into each bell pepper, packing lightly for a generous filling.

7-Final Step: Remove from oven, allow to cool slightly, garnish with extra celery or herbs if desired, and serve warm. Adjust serving accompaniments as needed for dietary preferences or enhancements.
