How to make Chicken Philly Stuffed Peppers (step by step):

Place the hollowed peppers in a baking dish and bake them for 10 minutes. This step is optional if you want softer peppers. I like my stuffed peppers soft and this will help.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan on the stove over medium heat. Cut the onion and pepper into strips and saute for 5-10 minutes.
In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken, sauteed veggies, and ranch dressing.
Stuff the peppers with the mixture and bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Remove the peppers and turn the oven to broil. Top each pepper with 1 tablespoon of cheese and return them to the oven for 5 minutes.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
