Healthy Chicken and Peppers

This hen and peppers recipe is so flexible.  Serve it in a tortilla, over rice, or maybe just like it is for the carb-counter for your circle of relatives. I normally make extras and freeze this for a quick healthy meal whilst i'm short on time at some stage in the week.

Healthy Chicken and Peppers


Instructions
  1. Grill chicken until it is done or registers 165°F with a meat thermometer. If you don't want to grill the chicken, you can broil it in the oven.
  2. Heat a large skillet with 2 Tbsp of EVOO and add the carrots and onions. Stir and let cook for 3 minutes.
  3. Add all the peppers. Mix and cover pan for about 3 minutes. This allows them to sweat a bit and soften them faster
  4. Add the minced garlic and stir again.
  5. Cover and let them cook for 2 more minutes if you prefer your veggies to have a little bite to them.
  6. Top vegetables with grilled chicken and serve over brown rice, quinoa or pasta.
