A quick and easy game day snack featuring mini sweet peppers stuffed with a creamy, tangy, and spicy buffalo chicken dip. Perfectly crisp peppers hold a cheesy, flavorful filling that’s a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2025 mini sweet peppers, washed and halved lengthwise
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (about 280g)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup buffalo wing sauce (about 120ml)
  • ½ cup ranch dressing (about 120ml)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (about 100g)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice mini peppers in half lengthwise and remove seeds and membranes. Arrange cut side up on a baking sheet.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until creamy and evenly combined. Add a splash of ranch or buffalo sauce if too thick.
  3. Use a spoon or small cookie scoop to fill each pepper half generously with the buffalo chicken dip mixture.
  4. Bake the stuffed peppers for 15-18 minutes until the filling is hot and bubbly and peppers soften slightly but remain crisp.
  5. Remove from oven and sprinkle sliced green onions on top. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Drain shredded chicken well and soften cream cheese to avoid watery filling. Do not overbake peppers to keep their crispness. Prep filling and peppers ahead to save time. Customize spice level by adjusting buffalo sauce and ranch dressing. Dairy-free substitutions possible with plant-based cream cheese, ranch, and nutritional yeast.
