Mediterranean Chicken with Asparagus

Ingredient

  • 2 Cups of spinach leaves
  • 3 Bell Peppers chopped
  • 1 tomato chopped
  • 1/2 lb of boneless, skinless, chicken breast (about 6 strips)
  • 1/2 cup of raspberry vinaigrette dressing
  • 3 tablespoons of roasted pepper hummus
  • Pita bread
  • Paprika  and pepper
  • 1 bushell of asparagus

Directions

  1. Season the chicken to liking. I only used paprika and pepper because the dressing will add flavor.
  2. Mix the hummus and vinaigrette dressing together in a bowl and then spread on the chicken. ( Do not dip the chicken inside unless you do not plan on saving the remaining dressing)
  3. Allow the chicken to marinate for about 20 minutes. 
  4. After the chicken has marinated, heat a skillet with olive oil. You only need enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Then add the chicken, flipping occasionally so the chicken does not stick and cook evenly.
  5. Once the chicken is cooked, add the tomato, spinach and bell peppers. Allow to cook down and a sauce should begin to form. Once everything is cooked down you are done.
  6. Add to pita bread and enjoy.

Asparagus Directions


Asparagus Directions

  1. Lay the asparagus out and find the natural bend. Snap each piece of asparagus and throw away the bottom part.
  2. Heat a skillet with olive oil. 
  3. Once the skillet is hot, add the asparagus and sprinkle them with salt.
  4. Cook until they become tender or the color changes.

Note


There will be leftovers but that’s okay. And as always, remember to add a little glitz to your grits and enjoy, y’all!

Stuffed Peppers

Ingredients

  • Bell Peppers
  • Can of kidney bean (or what ever bean you like)
  • Cup of rice
  • 1/2 lb of ground beef
  • 1/2 cup of cheese
  • Seasoning (whatever you typically use when cooking ground beef)

Directions

  1. Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the insides. 
  2. Place the bell peppers in a pot of water and bring the water to a boil. Peppers should be covered in water. Cook until the form beings to change and the peppers are soft.
  3. While the peppers are boiling cook the rice, kidney beans and ground beef to your liking. All in separate pots, of course.
  4. Once the peppers and everything else is cooked preheat the oven at 350 degrees.
  5. Carefully remove the peppers and drain all the water. Use caution cause the peppers will be hot.
  6. Place the peppers in a pyrex dish of your liking. Fill each pepper with ground beef, rice and beans. Top them off with cheese. If your like me then don’t be afraid to let the cheese spill over.
  7. Cook them at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the tops begin to brown.

Note

The dish can always be modified if you’re looking to be healthy by using lean ground beef or ground turkey. Personally I don’t like turkey but I would love to know how it turns out if y’all try it. Brown rice instead of white rice may also be substituted.
