Ingredients
For the Peppers
- 4 sweet bell peppers, halved, seeded, and stems removed (red, orange, or yellow)
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp Kosher salt
- 1 rotisserie chicken, skin discarded, meat pulled or shredded, about 4 cups total
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- ¾ cup shredded cheese, divided, such as fontina, cheddar, or Mexican 4-blend
- Crumbled blue cheese, for serving
- 2 Tbsp chives, finely chopped, for serving
For the Buffalo Sauce
- ⅔ cup hot sauce, such as Frank's Red Hot
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 1 Tbsp white vinegar
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp Kosher salt
Instructions
- Bake the bell peppers. Preheat an oven to 375°F (190°C). Place halved bell peppers on a baking sheet or other baking dish, then drizzle with 1 Tbsp olive oil and ½ tsp Kosher salt. Bake until beginning to soften, about 10-12 minutes. Set aside.
- Make the buffalo sauce. Combine all sauce ingredients in a medium sauce pan. Set the heat to medium, then cook until melted and simmering, about 3 minutes.
- Make the filling. Add pulled rotisserie chicken, scallions, and ¼ cup of grated cheese directly into the sauce pan. Toss to thoroughly combine.
- Fill the peppers. Stuff the partially baked peppers evenly with the chicken mixture. Top with remaining grated cheese, then bake until melted and heated throughout, 20 minutes more.
- Serve immediately. Add a few tablespoons of crumbled blue cheese on top, then garnish with chopped chives. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
