Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground chicken and cook, breaking up the meat, until cooked through.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Spoon the chicken filling evenly between all of the peppers. Sprinkle with the cheddar cheese.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
