Ingredients

  • 2 large bell peppers, cut in half and seeds removed

Filling:

  • 2 ½ cups shredded chicken
  • 2 TBS shredded carrots
  • 2 TBS chopped green onions
  • 2 ounces light cream cheese softened
  • 1 teaspoon ranch seasoning
  • ½ cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 2 TBS shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup blue cheese crumbles

Topping:

  • ¼ cup shredded Colby Jack cheese
  • 2 TBS ranch (to drizzle)
  • 2 stalks chopped green onions

Instructions

For the filling:

  1. Using a medium size bowl, add shredded chicken, carrots, green onions, cream cheese, ranch seasoning, buffalo sauce, and cheddar cheese. Mix well with a fork to combine ingredients. Set aside.

Cooking in the Air Fryer:

  1. Lightly rub the outside skin of the peppers with olive oil. Add the filling to the inside pocket of the peppers and then place the peppers down in the air fryer.

  2. Set the air fryer to 350 degrees, then close and cook for 8 minutes. Open the air fryer then sprinkle with cheeses (blue cheese & colby jack), and cook for 3-4 more minutes or until the peppers are tender.

Cooking in the oven:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

  2. Fill the peppers with the filling, then place into a baking dish. Sprinkle cheeses over the tops of the peppers. Add ½ cup water to the bottom of the baking dish. Cover the baking dish tightly, then place into the oven. Cook for 45 minutes and then remove and remove the foil carefully.

  3. *If you want the cheese slightly browned, switch the oven to broil, place the uncovered peppers back into the oven, and broil on high for 2-3 minutes or until cheese is slightly browned (watch closely).

For topping:

  1. Drizzle with ranch or blue cheese dressing and chopped green onions.
