INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1/4 cup Black Beans (low-sodium)
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/4 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1/8 cup Red Onion
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Lime Juice
1 tbsp Cilantro
1 tsp Ground Cumin
1 tsp Chili Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the top off the red bell pepper and remove seeds and membranes, setting the pepper aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté diced red onion and minced garlic with a dash of salt until softened, about 2 minutes.
Add the chopped chicken breast to the skillet and cook until the chicken is lightly browned and nearly cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder.
Stir in the cooked quinoa and black beans, mixing well. Remove from heat and gently fold in the halved cherry tomatoes and chopped cilantro.
Drizzle in the lime juice and adjust seasoning as needed.
Stuff the red bell pepper with the quinoa and chicken mixture, packing it well.
Place the stuffed pepper in a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the pepper is tender and the filling is heated through.
Remove from the oven, garnish with extra cilantro if desired, and serve warm.
