(Serves 4)

Peppers & filling:

4 large bell peppers (any color), tops cut off, seeds removed
1½ lbs ground chicken or shredded rotisserie chicken (you love high-protein!)
2 tbsp avocado oil

Buffalo chicken mixture:

½ cup sugar-free buffalo sauce (check label—you love clean labels!)
4 oz (½ block) full-fat cream cheese, softened (you love cream cheese!)
¼ cup crumbled blue cheese or shredded cheddar (use reduced-sodium—you love low-sodium!)
2 garlic cloves, minced
½ tsp onion powder
Salt & black pepper to taste (use reduced-sodium—you love low-sodium!)

Toppings:

Extra shredded cheese
Sugar-free ranch dressing (for drizzling—you love creamy textures!)
Chopped celery or green onions (classic buffalo crunch!)

Instructions

1. Prep peppers:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place hollowed peppers upright in baking dish. Lightly brush outsides with oil. Bake 10 minutes to soften slightly.

2. Make filling:

Heat oil in skillet over medium heat. Add chicken; cook until browned (if ground) or warmed through (if shredded).
Stir in buffalo sauce, cream cheese, blue cheese, garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook 3–4 minutes until creamy and smooth.

3. Stuff & bake:

Divide filling among peppers. Top with extra cheese.
Bake 20–25 minutes until peppers are tender and cheese is golden.

4. Serve:

Drizzle with sugar-free ranch. Garnish with celery or green onions.
