Creamy, spicy buffalo chicken dip stuffed into roasted bell peppers for a low-carb, crowd-pleasing meal that works for game day or weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
  • 4 large bell peppers
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (for topping)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
  • Extra buffalo sauce for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Slice each bell pepper in half from top to bottom, cutting through the stem. Scoop out seeds and white membranes.
  3. Brush pepper halves with olive oil on both inside and outside. Place cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes.
  4. While peppers roast, make the filling: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with buffalo wing sauce until smooth.
  5. Add ranch dressing and beat until combined. Fold in shredded chicken and half of the cheddar cheese (about 1/2 cup). Add blue cheese if using.
  6. Taste the filling and adjust seasoning if needed.
  7. Flip roasted peppers cut-side up in a 9×13 baking dish.
  8. Divide filling evenly among the eight pepper halves.
  9. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheddar cheese over the tops.
  10. Bake uncovered for 20-22 minutes, until hot and bubbly. For extra browning, broil for the last 2 minutes.
  11. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and drizzle with extra buffalo sauce.

Notes

Don’t skip par-roasting the peppers—it ensures they are tender but still hold their shape. Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth filling. For meal prep, assemble peppers without baking and refrigerate up to 24 hours ahead; add 5-10 minutes to baking time. Freeze unbaked peppers for up to 3 months.
