Ingredients
  

Peppers and Filling
  • 12 pieces Mini sweet peppers Try to keep the stems on for presentation.
  • 2 cups Cooked shredded chicken Rotisserie chicken works well.
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo sauce Choose your favorite heat level.
  • 8 oz Cream cheese Softened for easier mixing.
  • 1 cup Shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese Or a mix of both.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • Optional Green onions, ranch or blue cheese for serving Enhance presentation and flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Slice the mini peppers in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
  2. In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with cream cheese, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, and salt until it forms a thick, creamy dip.
  3. Fold in the shredded cheese.
Cooking
  1. Spoon the filling into each pepper half, packing it in.
  2. Air fry at 360°F (182°C) for about 8 to 10 minutes, checking for tenderness and a lightly golden top.
  3. Alternatively, preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C), place the filled peppers on a baking sheet, and bake for 14 to 18 minutes. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes for a browned top, watching closely.
Serving
  1. Serve warm with optional dips like ranch or blue cheese.

Notes

For meal prep, mix the filling and store it separately from the prepared peppers. Cook them just before serving for best texture. Try varying the spices or types of cheese for different flavors.
