Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 4 bell peppers
  • 4 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 pound ground chicken breast
  • 3 tablespoons Ranch seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 ounces ⅓ less fat cream cheese
  • ½ cup fat-free shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup buffalo sauce
  • 1 cup cooked rice

Instructions

  • Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees. If you like the peppers softer/toasty, preheat to 375 degrees. Cut the tops off of the pepper. Then, remove the seeds and the core. Cook the peppers in the air fryer for 10 to 14 minutes, depending on how soft you like your peppers. Try not to let the peppers touch as they need as much air flow as possible.
  • Oven: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Then, remove the seeds and the core. Cook the peppers for 20 to 30 minutes, depending on how soft you like your peppers. 
  • Meanwhile, heat a large pan over medium high heat. Drizzle with oil or grease with cooking spray. Once heated, add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant. 
  • Add the ground chicken and start breaking it up. Sprinkle on the seasonings and continue to breakup while cooking. Continue to break up and mix in the seasonings until the chicken is fully cooked.
  • Once cooked, add in the cream cheese and half the shredded cheese, this will make for a very creamy stuffed pepper. Stir together until the cheeses are melted.
  • Pour in the buffalo sauce and mix together, until everything is combined. Add in the rice, if using rice, and stir together. 
  • Once the peppers are almost done, stuff the meat mixture into each pepper. Topwith shredded cheese and air fry or broil for another 3 minutes, until thecheese is melted.
