Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Peppers are a super simple, yet comforting, fall dish made with chicken, buffalo sauce, Minute® Ready to Serve Basmati Rice mixed together in a bell pepper, topped with fresh parsley and gorgonzola cheese crumbles.

October is already in full swing and it is crazy how quickly time flies this time of year. It is such a busy time and dinner has a tendency to take a back seat with families turning to fast food on the way to sports practices or resorting to something else that does not take any effort. Since I try my hardest to stay away from feeding my family fast food, I have a whole arsenal of those “zero effort” meals and stuffed peppers are on that list. These Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Peppers are even easier to make with Minute® Ready to Serve Rice and precooked canned chicken mixed with some buffalo sauce in a bell pepper and popped in the oven for 35 minutes. Plus, they are delicious!
