Here is our revised edition of stuffed green peppers... hope you enjoy!
Ingredients (will make 2 green peppers with some mixture left over):
2 Chicken Breast or 1lb ground chicken (if you use breasts you will need to grind it)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
Cholula powder seasoning (or taco seasoning)
1/2 cup canned yellow Sweet corn
1/2 cup canned black beans
2 whole green peppers
1/2 cup diced green peppers
1/2 cup diced red peppers
1 jalapeno pepper (seeds removed) diced
2 tablespoons salsa
1/4 cup fat free Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1 Lean Cuisine, Sante Fe Rice and Beans
Directions:
1. In a frying pan add chicken, garlic, and cholula seasoning: brown until done
2. While your chicken is cooking, microwave the Sante Fe Rice and Beans as directed on box
3. In another frying pan: saute red peppers, green peppers, and jalapenos until tender
4.. Add corn, black beans, Sante Fe Rice and Beans, green peppers, red peppers, and jalapeno: warm together on stove top
5. Boil whole green peppers in water until tender (about 5-10 minutes, once tender remove from water and place in baking pan
6. Stuff mixture (chicken, rice and beans, and veggies) into cooked green peppers
7. Add 1 tablespoon of salsa to the top of each green pepper
8. Bake in oven at 350 for about 15-20 minutes
9. Add half of 1/4 cup of shredded cheese on top and place back in the over for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted
We also made home-made chips to go along with the peppers, they are pretty easy to make:
1. Take 4 corn tortillas and cut them into triangle shaped pieces
2. Place them on a greased pan (we used Pam cooking spray) and season them with lime juice and chulula seasoning
3. Bake them in the over at 350 for about 15-20 minutes or until crispy
4. Serve with salsa
The whole meal (one stuffed green pepper plus chips and salsa) was about 6 grams of fat and 400 calories!!
Hope your enjoy!!
