📖 Instructions

1. Alright, first things first, pop on some gloves! Trust me, you’ll thank me later. Slice each jalapeño in half lengthwise. Now, carefully scoop out those seeds and membranes. This is where the heat lives, so get rid of as much as you can to control the spice level.
2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures even cooking and a beautiful golden-brown finish. Grab a baking sheet and lightly grease it – that way, nothing sticks!
3. In a mixing bowl, throw in the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo wing sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix it all together until it’s well combined. I like to add a little more ranch dressing for extra creaminess, but that’s just me! Feel free to experiment with the ratios until you get the flavor just right. It's like, important.
4. Now, using a spoon, generously fill each jalapeño half with the buffalo chicken mixture. Don't be shy, but don't overfill them either. A nice, even layer is what we're aiming for.
5. Arrange the stuffed jalapeños on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they're not too crowded so they cook evenly.
6. Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the jalapeños are tender and the filling is bubbly and lightly browned. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning – ovens can be sneaky!
7. Once they're done, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let the stuffed jalapeños cool for a few minutes before serving. This will prevent you from burning your mouth – trust me, I've been there!
8. For that final touch, drizzle a little extra ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing over the top. A sprinkle of chopped green onions or parsley adds a pop of color and freshness. Now, dig in and enjoy the perfect combination of spicy, creamy, and cheesy goodness!
