Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 bell peppers (any color), halved and seeded
  • 2/3 cup classic hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1/2 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
  • 3/4 cup shredded provolone cheese (or mozzarella cheese), divided
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (or blue cheese)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Slice bell peppers in half and remove seeds and membranes. Arrange cut-side up in the prepared dish.
  2. Make Filling: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine hot sauce, butter, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook until butter is melted. Remove from heat and stir in shredded chicken, Greek yogurt, and ¼ cup provolone cheese.
  3. Stuff and Bake: Mound the filling inside the peppers. Sprinkle with remaining provolone cheese. Pour a small amount of water into the baking dish. Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, or until peppers are tender and cheese is melted.
  4. Serve: Remove from oven and top with feta cheese and green onions. Serve hot.
