Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Peppers

Wing sauce, chicken, ranch dressing, carrots and celery – but it’s not wing night. It’s stuffed pepper night! You are not going to believe how delicious these are. Or how easy they are to make.

Hot sauce and chicken go together like Fall and football. That’s probably why wings are such a tailgating favorite. However, their messy attributes (wet-naps anyone?) are less than desirable.

Tidier Buffalo Chicken

We’ve devised a recipe that allows you to have your chicken and keep your hands clean too – Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Peppers. A bell pepper is the perfect edible bowl to contain the messy saucy chicken. The carrot and celery go right in the stuffing! How cool is that? Oh, and we added cheese. Because you can’t have a stuffed pepper without cheese.

A great thing about this recipe is that you don’t have to pre-cook the filling before stuffing. The pepper halves are shallow enough that stuffing raw chicken in them cooks through in the time it takes the pepper to soften. Game day has never been so easy!

If you don’t have ranch dressing at home, we have a quick hack for you. You can use pantry seasonings to make your own ranch seasoning powder quickly, then some with 2 tablespoons of sour cream.
