2. Ingredients for Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Peppers
- bell pepper
- rotisserie chicken
- celery stalks
- scallions
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/2 cup buffalo-style hot sauce
- 1/3 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese
- nonstick cooking spray
- 3 Tbsp. crumbled blue cheese
3. Directions:
3.1 Preheat
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
3.2 Prep
Slice the tops from the bell peppers, remove the stems, and set aside. Remove the internal seeds and membranes. Arrange the peppers open side up in a glass baking dish.
Place the shredded chicken, minced celery, half the minced scallions, garlic powder, and hot sauce in a mixing bowl. Mix with a rubber spatula to combine.
Divide the buffalo chicken mixture evenly between each bell pepper, firmly packing it into the cavities. Sprinkle the top of each pepper with a heaping tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese.
Carefully pour enough water into the casserole dish to rise 1/2 inch up the sides of the peppers.
Spray a sheet of aluminum foil with nonstick cooking spray. Lay the foil sprayed side down over the peppers and secure around the edges of the casserole dish.
3.3 Oven
Bake the stuffed peppers on middle rack of oven until they can be easily pierced with a fork, about 50 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking until the cheese on top is golden brown, 10-15 minutes.
3.4 Check
Check to see that stuffed peppers are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
3.5 Serve
Allow the peppers to rest for 5-10 minutes. Sprinkle each pepper with an even amount of crumbled blue cheese and the remaining minced scallion. Serve immediately.
