**Instructions:**

1. ### Preheat the oven ### Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. ### Prepare the Bell Peppers ### Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. If the peppers are wobbly, you can also cut a small slice off the bottom to help them stand upright.

4. ### Stuff the Peppers ### Spoon the buffalo chicken mixture into the bell peppers, pressing it down to ensure they're fully stuffed. Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish.

5. ### Top with Cheese ### Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the tops of the stuffed peppers.

6. ### Bake ### Bake the stuffed peppers in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

7. ### Garnish and Serve ### Remove the peppers from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve warm.
