3 ounces Baked Chicken Breast
1 ounce Low-Fat Cheese
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Zest and Juice

PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Slice the top off the red bell pepper and remove seeds and membranes, setting aside the top if desired for presentation.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, cooked spinach, and diced baked chicken breast. Stir in the olive oil, lemon zest and juice, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
Carefully spoon the mixture into the hollowed red bell pepper, pressing lightly to pack the filling.
Place the stuffed pepper in a small baking dish. Top with the low-fat cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the pepper is tender and the cheese is slightly melted.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your balanced and zesty stuffed pepper dish!
