Fajita Chicken Stuffed Roasted Bell Peppers (Medifast)

Ingredients

• 1 lbs chicken breasts
• 1 packet McCormick Chicken Taco seasoning
• 3/4 cup water
• 1 each yellow, red, orange, and green bell pepper
• 1 cup Mexican cheese, shredded
• 1/4 c cilantro, chopped

Medifast Ingredients

• 3 chicken breasts
• 1/2 pack Medifast Fajita Seasoning
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 each red, yellow, and green bell pepper
• 1/4 cup Mexican cheese, shredded
• 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

Makes 2 Lean and Green meals.

1. Preheat oven to 400. Cut the tops off of the bell peppers then cut in half, forming two bowls. Remove the seeds. Place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and lightly salt each half. Cook for 10 – 15 minutes or until soft and staring to brown.

2. Preheat George Foreman Grill. Cook the chicken breast until cooked, about 2 minutes per side. OR cook the chicken in a large skillet over medium-high heat until cooked, about 5 minutes per side. Cut each breast into 1/4 inch wide strips, then into 1/4 inch wide chunks.

3. If you used a George Foreman grill, add the chicken to a large skillet. Add the Chicken Taco or Medifast seasoning and the water. Bring to a boil and simmer until the water has evaporated, about 10 minutes if using McCormick, stirring occasionally. Stir in the cilantro.

4. Spoon 1/4 cup of chicken into each bell pepper half. If you have leftover chicken, divide evenly. Top with Mexican shredded cheese and bake for 5 minutes.

Enjoy!

Dieting

Chances are you noticed that I have a page devoted to Medifast Recipes. They’re actually the most popular recipes on this blog. I did try Medifast for a short period of time, as well as Nutrisystem.

Dieting is tricky. There is no universal “you’re guaranteed to lose weight on this plan!” or “lose weight without trying!” plan. Every diet effects everyone in a different way. I’ve created a new page devoted to my experiences with dieting, starting with Medifast and Nutrisystem. If you’re interested in learning about my experiences or want to read an honest review about Medifast or Nutrisytem, please visit my Dieting page. Over time, as I try other diets (if I try other diets), I’ll add my reviews to this page. If you have any questions about the diets or my experiences, please don’t hesitate to ask. I’m here to help : )

2. Wash, peel, and grate the carrot. Slice the green onions into thin, 1/4 inch pieces. Remove the stems from the cilantro and roughly chop the leaves.

3. In a medium bowl, combine the cabbage, carrot, cilantro, and green onions. Top with the chicken.

4. If using PB2, combine 4 tbsp PB2 and 1/2 cup water. Stir until smooth. In a small bowl, combine all ingredients and whisk until smooth.

You can either drizzle the dressing over a salad or toss the salad in the dressing then serve.
