Hello, dinnertime!
I shared these Pesto Chicken Stuffed Sweet Peppers and showed you just how easy it is to make a meal out of these little sweet peppers. I am totally in love with these things! They are making weeknight meals so easy!
The prep for these Buffalo Sweet Peppers is very similar to the prep for the pesto version. You simply mix the shredded chicken with cream cheese, ranch, buffalo sauce, stuff it in the peppers and top with cheese.
Try them! I bet you won’t be able to eat just one!

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Peppers
This buffalo chicken stuffed peppers recipe is a breeze to make, promise! Here are the basic steps:
- Place sliced sweet peppers in a single layer on a cookie sheet.
- In a medium size mixing bowl, combine the chicken, cream cheese, ranch dressing, and buffalo sauce.
- Place a spoonful of the buffalo chicken mixture in each pepper.

- Bake for 15 minutes until cheese is bubbly. Garnish with green onions before serving.
Can You Freeze Stuffed Peppers?
Yes! Because the filling for these stuffed sweet peppers uses already cooked ingredients, the peppers are safe to freeze.
I recommend freezing them before you top them with cheese and bake them. Then, all you have to do is take them out of the freezer, sprinkle with cheese, and bake from frozen.
What to Serve with Stuffed Peppers

Tips for Making Stuffed Sweet Peppers
- This is a really easy recipe to adjust based on you personal preferences. I recommend using my measurement for buffalo sauce as a guideline, since everyone has different tastes. As written, this is just enough for a nice bit of spice, but it won’t set your mouth on fire.
- To save yourself some time, buy pre-shredded rotisserie chicken at the grocery store.
- Note that this recipe calls for a packet of ranch dressing seasoning mix, NOT the pre-made ranch dressing that comes in a bottle.
