Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat oven to 375u00b0F (190u00b0C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper (optional).
Prepare the peppers: Wash and cut them in half, removing seeds.
Bake the peppers in a lined baking dish for 30 minutes at 400.
Cook the chicken: You can poach the chicken breasts in simmering water until cooked through. Shred the chicken using two forks or put the chicken in the crockpot with 1 cup of water and cook on high for 3 hours before shredding.
In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken, BBQ sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasonings to your taste.
Spoon the filling generously into each pepper half.
Top with a sprinkle of dairy-free cheese, if using.
Bake and serve: Arrange the stuffed peppers in the prepared baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and heated through. Let cool slightly before serving.
