BUFFALO CHICKEN STUFFED POBLANO PEPPERS

Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Poblano Peppers image

Since I do not like green bell peppers, I decided to create a filling that would go well with my favorite pepper, a poblano. After a few taste tests with my family, this stuffed poblano peppers recipe is now one of our favorites. I have also added black beans, used Cubanelle peppers and served with cilantro lime rice. -Lorri Stout, Gaithersburg, Maryland
