  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, combine shredded chicken with buffalo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and nutritional yeast. Stir until evenly coated and heated through, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stuff the chicken mixture into each pepper half, ensuring they are packed well but not overflowing.
