Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, ranch packet, half the cheddar cheese, bacon and mix until combined. A stand mixer is great for this.

Wash the peppers, cut the tops off, and remove the seeds and ribs from the inside of the pepper. Stuff each pepper with about 1 cup of the chicken mixture.

Place the peppers in a baking dish. Top the peppers with the remainder of the cheese.

Bake for 35-45 minutes or until the peppers are tender.

Garnish with additional bacon if desired. Serve hot.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Bacon Prep Perfection 🥓
Par-cook bacon partially before mixing into the filling to reduce excess grease and ensure crispy texture in the final dish.
Pepper Selection Strategy 🫑
Choose bell peppers with flat bottoms that can stand upright, and try to select peppers of similar size for even cooking and consistent presentation.
Cream Cheese Softening Hack 🧈
Let cream cheese sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before mixing to ensure smooth, lump-free incorporation with other filling ingredients.
Ranch Flavor Amplification 🥄
Use a homemade ranch seasoning mix instead of bottled dressing for a more intense, fresh flavor profile in your stuffed peppers.
Moisture Control Technique 💧
Briefly pat chicken dry with paper towels before chopping to prevent excess moisture from making the filling soggy.
