  • Total Time: PT35M
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium bell peppers, halved and seeded
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 ½ cups shredded cooked chicken
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup hot sauce (e.g. Frank’s RedHot)
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper
  • ¼ cup chopped scallions, divided
  • 3 Tbsp blue cheese or ranch dressing

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 °F. Brush bell peppers with olive oil and place cut‑side down on a baking sheet. Roast 10 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, stir together chicken, Greek yogurt, mozzarella, hot sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, and 2 Tbsp scallions until combined.

3. Flip roasted peppers cut‑side up and discard any excess water.

4. Spoon buffalo chicken mixture evenly into pepper cavities.

5. Bake until heated through and cheese melts, about 15 minutes.

6. Drizzle with blue cheese or ranch dressing and sprinkle with remaining scallions before serving.

Notes

For meal prep, these freeze beautifully—just reheat in the oven. Adjust spiciness by using more or less buffalo sauce. Swap Greek yogurt for cream cheese or mayonnaise for a creamier texture.
