Ingredients

▢ 2 large bell peppers seeded and cut in half
▢ 2 cups shredded chicken
▢ ¾ cup Greek yogurt
▢ ¼ cup shredded cheese
▢ 1 cup diced onions, carrots and celery can buy prechopped mirepoix mix
▢ ¼ cup buffalo sauce such as Frank's red sauce
▢ cooking spray

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees f.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place the halved peppers on top. Lightly spray with cooking spray, and place in the oven to soften them up a bit. Bake for about 10 minutes.
2 large bell peppers
While peppers are cooking, sauté mirepoix over medium heat till tender, about 5-8 minutes. Stir frequently so the onions don’t burn. Remove peppers from the oven and allow them to rest and cool until you make your filling.
1 cup diced onions, carrots and celery, cooking spray
To a medium bowl, add chicken, Greek yogurt, cooked mirepoix mix, and hot sauce and stir until well combined. Since the chicken is already cooked, go ahead and do a little taste test. If you like yours a bit spicier, you can add more hot sauce.
2 cups shredded chicken, ¾ cup Greek yogurt, ¼ cup shredded cheese, ¼ cup buffalo sauce
Scoop out the filling and add the chicken mix to each of the stuffed peppers. Top with the shredded cheese.
Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, until cheese is melted and peppers are fork tender. You can also use the air fryer at 400 degrees for approximately 10-12 minutes.
Serve immediately, or let cool and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

If you have leftovers and are looking to reheat them, place bell peppers in the microwave for a few minutes to heat them through. They can also be reheated in the oven at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes.
