INGREDIENTS
1 large Red Bell Pepper (150g)
1 cup Cooked Quinoa (185g)
0.5 cup Black Beans (130g)
3 ounces Chicken Breast (85g each oz, total 255g approx)
0.25 cup Reduced-Fat Cheddar Cheese (28g)
2 tbsp Chopped Fresh Cilantro
1 tbsp Lime Juice
1 tsp Ground Cumin
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the top off the red bell pepper and remove the seeds and membranes. Set the pepper aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, and diced cooked chicken breast.
Add in the ground cumin, smoked paprika, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Season with salt and pepper, and mix thoroughly.
Stuff the mixture into the hollowed bell pepper. Top with a sprinkle of reduced-fat cheddar cheese.
Place the stuffed pepper in a baking dish. If desired, add a little water to the bottom of the dish to help keep the pepper moist.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the pepper is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your zesty, flavorful meal!
