    Tips and Tricks for Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Peppers

    Softening Peppers 

    If you do not want to microwave your peppers, you can bake the peppers for longer in the oven. If you do that, just cover them with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Then remove the foil for the last 15 minutes. 

    Quick Prep Peppers 

    Using pre-shredded chicken will speed up your pepper prep. You can cook up the chicken ahead of time, use leftover chicken, or even buy a rotisserie chicken or pre-shredded chicken. 

    Color of Peppers 

    Feel free to use any color of bell pepper you want. Green bell peppers will not be as sweet as yellow, red, or orange peppers.

    Tame the Heat

    Buffalo sauce carries some heat. But adding the butter helps to lessen the spice. If you want, you can also use less buffalo sauce to tame the heat a bit. 

    Ranch Dressing 

    If you are not a blue cheese fan, use ranch dressing instead. You can drizzle the dressing on top of your peppers after you remove them from the oven. This will also help lessen the spicy heat. 

    Double Recipe 

    If you want to make extra peppers, just use a 9x13 dish. Cook peppers for the same amount of time, serve up, and enjoy a quick dinner recipe. 

    Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Peppers FAQs

    How do you store leftover stuffed peppers? 

    These chicken peppers make for great leftovers. If you do not eat all your peppers at once, place them in an airtight container and store for 2–3 days in the fridge. Warm peppers up in the microwave or oven until warmed through. 

    Can you freeze stuffed peppers? 

    You can freeze these peppers if you would like. Just know that the texture of the peppers will be very soft compared to eating it fresh.

    If you plan to freeze the peppers, I recommend simply assembling the peppers without softening them in the microwave. Then freeze peppers before baking, to help give you the best reheated flavor and texture.

    Notes

    • I bought a container of pre-shredded chicken for convenience, but you can also make your own shredded chicken or use rotisserie chicken.
    • The buffalo chicken mixture is quite spicy. Adding a bit more butter, or choosing a milder hot sauce, will result in a milder stuffed pepper.
    • If you want to skip the microwave step, you can stuff the raw peppers and cover them with foil before baking in the chicken broth for 45 minutes to an hour.
    • These stuffed peppers are super tasty drizzled with ranch sauce.
    • You can serve your stuffed peppers on a bed of arugula.
