A quick and easy party snack featuring mini sweet peppers stuffed with a creamy, spicy buffalo chicken dip filling. Perfect for gatherings, this recipe combines the crunch of fresh peppers with a rich, tangy filling.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2024 mini sweet peppers
  • 2 cups (280g) cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken recommended)
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) buffalo wing sauce
  • 1 cup (100g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) ranch dressing (optional)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Rinse and dry the mini peppers. Cut each pepper in half lengthwise and remove seeds and membranes. Place them cut side up on a baking sheet.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded chicken, buffalo wing sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, and ranch dressing if using. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until creamy and well combined.
  4. Fill each mini pepper half generously with the buffalo chicken mixture using a spoon or piping bag.
  5. Bake the stuffed peppers in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes until the filling is hot and bubbly and the cheese is melted. The peppers should remain slightly crunchy.
  6. Let the peppers cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before serving.

Notes

Warm cream cheese before mixing to avoid lumps. Do not overbake peppers to keep crunch. Can prepare filling and stuff peppers up to 24 hours ahead and bake before serving. For dairy-free, use vegan cream cheese and omit cheddar or use plant-based cheese. Adjust heat by adding jalapeños or cayenne pepper. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days.
