Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 4 ounces Frank's Red Hot Sauce
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning
- 1 pound mini sweet peppers
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar
- ranch dressing, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground chicken and cook, breaking up the meat, until cooked through.
- Add the cream cheese, hot sauce, and ranch seasoning to the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, until the cream cheese melts and everything is combined.
- Slice the peppers in half and remove any seeds. Place peppers in a 9x13 baking dish. Note: You may need more than one dish, depending on the size of your peppers.
- Spoon the chicken filling evenly between all of the peppers. Sprinkle with the cheddar cheese.
- Bake for 10 minutes for crunchy peppers that you can eat with your hands. For softer peppers that will require a fork, cover the dish and bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Drizzle with ranch or blue cheese dressing before serving, if desired.
Notes
Feel free to eliminate or reduce the ranch seasoning in the filling as it does add quite a bit of sodium. We enjoy the flavor, but it's not strictly necessary.
Nutrition information does not include topping the peppers with ranch or blue cheese dressing.
