1/2 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt

Instructions
1-Begin by preheating your oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC) and preparing your ingredients for a smooth process.
2-First, wash and halve 3 bell peppers lengthwise, then remove the seeds and membranes to create the perfect holders for your filling.
3-In a pan, heat 2/3 cup classic hot sauce, 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon onion powder until the butter melts and everything blends nicely.
4-This step ensures the sauce coats the 2 cups of shredded chicken evenly.
5-Next, mix in 1/2 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt and 1/4 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese to the chicken mixture for that creamy touch.
6-Fill each pepper half with this buffalo chicken blend, then top with 1/2 cup additional shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese.
7-Pour a small amount of water into the baking dish to keep things moist during baking.
8-Bake at 375ยฐF for 30 to 35 minutes until the peppers are tender and the cheese melts beautifully.
9-Once out of the oven, add 1/2 cup crumbled feta or blue cheese and 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions on top for extra flavor.
