I was not planning to cook something good enough for the blog, but it actually turned out to be a cute and vibrant dish to make and healthy. I made it with whatever I had in the fridge.
grilled chicken with roasted peppers over rice (2 people)
brown rice (cook in the steamer according to package)
6 chicken strips (3 per person) seasoned with a mix of herbs
one red pepper
5 scallions chopped finely
one clove of garlic minced
salt and pepper, olive oil
half lemon
In a skillet pour some olive oil, the scallion and garlic chopped and the red pepper sliced. Salt and pepper. Cook on medium heat for 3 minutes, squeeze half the lemon and cook until the red pepper is medium soft. Don’t over cook the vegetable.
In the meantime of the grill, grill the chicken already seasoned with a mix of dry herbs you most enjoy. Cook until blackened on the outside and juicy inside.
Cook the rice in the steamer until ready.
Place half cup of rice on a plate. Place the 3 chicken strips on top of the brown rice. Add the pepper on the side and top with the green scallions. And that’s it. You got a meal in less than 30 minutes.
If you want to make it even less caloric, don’t include the rice. Instead cook with the red peppers some fresh spinach. It is a nice complement. If you don’t eat meat replace the meat with more spinach.
Sorry the picture is not that great. You need to realize that I cook and take picture at the same time with greasy hands. Also by the time I am done I am starving and ready to eat.
