Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Peppers

September 16, 2013 by Katie 1 Comment

Football is back, so buffalo chicken is pretty much *always* on my mind!  While I love buffalo wings and tenders, they aren’t the most figure-friendly options.  So, I decided to use lean ground chicken breast and green peppers to make Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Peppers.  And they were delicious!

I loved the spicy chicken along with the tangy bites of blue cheese.  It’s a great way to enjoy buffalo chicken without the guilt!  My only change would be to cut the peppers in half before stuffing them.  The would have made them a lot easier to eat!

Start by preheating your oven to 375°…

  • Mince up a carrot, a celery stalk, and half an onion.

image

  • Heat some EVOO in a skillet over medium-high heat.

image

  • Once the oil is hot, add the carrot, celery, and onion.

image

  • Stir and cook until tender, about 7 minutes.
  • Once tender, push the veggies to one side of the skillet.

image

  • Add one package of ground chicken breast to the other side.

image

  • Break up the meat with a wooden spoon.

image

  • Sprinkle about one quarter of a package of ranch dip mix over the chicken.

image

  • Cook the chicken until no longer pink, stirring occasionally.

image

  • Mix the veggies into the chicken.

image

  • Pour in a decent amount of spicy buffalo sauce.

image

  • Stir.

image

  • Remove the skillet from the heat and add about ¼ cup of blue cheese crumbles.

image

  • Stir again.

image

  • Coat a baking dish with the cooking spray.
  • Cut the tops off of 4 green peppers and remove the insides.

image

  • Place the peppers in the dish.
  • Put half a slice of provolone on the bottom of each pepper.

image

  • Fill each pepper with the buffalo chicken mixture.

image

  • Sprinkle a teaspoon of blue cheese on top of each pepper.

image

  • Finish each pepper with a full slice of provolone.

image

  • Bake covered for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the cover and bake until the cheese on top is bubbly and golden brown, about 5-10 more minutes.

Enjoy!
