Pimentões recheados em forma de abóbora de Halloween

Ingredientes

• 4 bell peppers (orange )
• 2 chicken breasts (cooked and shredded)
• 4 Ounces cream cheese
• 1/2 Cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded )
• 1/2 Cup mozzarella cheese (shredded )
• 1/4 Cup green onions (chopped )
• 1/2 Cup buffalo sauce
• 1 Cup white rice (cooked)

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375°F.

2. 2

   heat: In a microwave safe bowl place the cream cheese and buffalo sauce and microwave until the cream cheese is soft enough to be mixed with the buffalo sauce. It is OK for there to be little chunks of cream cheese.

3. 3

   mix: Add in the shredded chicken, cheddar, mozzarella, green onions, and rice. Mix everything together well.

4. 4

   cut: Wash your orange bell peppers then using a small knife create triangle eyes and other facial features and cut off the tops just like you would a pumpkin for Halloween. Be sure to remove the seeds from the inside of the peppers.

5. 5

   Fill the bell peppers with as much of the buffalo chicken mixture as possible, packing it in tightly.

6. 6

   stand: Place the bell peppers in a baking dish (or on a baking sheet) lined with parchment paper. If your bell peppers aren't flat enough on the bottom to stand on their own you can use balls of aluminum foil or stick toothpicks into the bottoms of the peppers to help them stand.

7. 7

   Bake the peppers in the oven for 30 to 45 minutes or until the peppers are soft.

8. 8

   serve: Take out of the oven and serve with extra green onions and a drizzle of buffalo sauce or ranch for those who prefer something mild. Serve immediately.
