Ingredients
3 bell peppers, any colors
β cup classic hot sauce
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Β½ teaspoon kosher salt
Β½ teaspoon garlic powder
Β½ teaspoon onion powder
2 cups cooked shredded chicken
Β½ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
ΒΎ cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
Β½ cup crumbled feta or blue cheese
ΒΌ cup finely chopped green onions
Instructions
1-First Step: Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Prepare the bell peppers by slicing off the tops and removing seeds and membranes carefully.
2-Second Step: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded cooked chicken with buffalo wing sauce, chopped celery, and ranch or blue cheese dressing. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
3-Third Step: Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the heat level to your preference. For dietary adaptations, substitute chicken with tofu or jackfruit at this stage.
4-Fourth Step: Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture evenly into each bell pepper, packing lightly for a generous filling.
5-Fifth Step: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of each stuffed pepper. For vegan or low-calorie options, use appropriate cheese substitutes or reduced portions.
6-Sixth Step: Arrange stuffed peppers in a baking dish and cover with foil. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and peppers are tender.
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.
