Stuffed Chicken Green Peppers (serves 3 people)


Ingredients:
- 3 green peppers
-3 boneless chicken breast
-2 TBS. of marina sauce
-1/2 cup of rice (any kind healthiest option is brown)
-1 TBS mozzarella cheese 

  1. Wash your three green peppers, dry and cut the top of them off so they are open to stuff them
  2. Take out the three chicken breast (make sure to wash them and cut off any fat) and cut them into small bite size pieces. Then put them on the stove in a pan to cook them. Personally, I like to season mine with a bit of garlic and black pepper. Cook for about 10-15 min. Set aside
  3. Cook rice as instructed.
  4. Add marina sauce and the chicken to the rice, give it a good stir.
  5. Set oven to 375 degrees and let preheat
  6. Put the green peppers in a pan (preferably skinny and tall so it holds up the peppers better) 
  7. Stuff the peppers with the marina sauce, chicken, and rice. Add cheese on top (the cheese is just to add flavor so do not overload) 
  8. Cook in oven for about 25-30 min. (or until cheese is brown and pepper is soft)

Side salad


Ingredients:
- Spinach and arugula salad (in a box and organic)
- 1 avocado
-2 tomatoes
- 1 cup of freshly grated parmesan cheese 

  1. In  a bowl combine half of the spinach from the box, half an avocado, 1 tomato, and 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese 
  2. Repeat step one and add favorite dressing 
The reason why you want to layer it is that way all the toppings are not just sitting on the top and everyone will get a taste of everything. The recipes that I have given is a different way for you to try and get more protein into your system, the chicken is great for that. You will also get a lot of fiber like the spinach and avocado which will fill you up faster.
