Zesty Chicken and Peppers

5 Ingredient 15 Minute Recipes, p. 24

1 (16-ounce) package lemon-pepper flavored chicken breast filets

½ teaspoon paprika

¼ teaspoon dried thyme

1 tablespoon margarine

Vegetable cooking spray

2 medium-size green or sweet red peppers, cut into ¼-inch strips

I couldn't find any of this fabled pre-peppered chicken, so I soaked mine in my own Googled marinade for about half an hour. If you're interested, the marinade was 2T lemon juice, 2T olive oil, 3 cloves garlic minced, and 1 T black pepper. Good stuff.

Drain lemon-pepper flavored chicken, discarding marinade. Sprinkle paprika and thyme over chicken.

Melt margarine in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Add chicken; cook 5 minutes. 

Surprisingly all of this spice doesn't add tons of flavor in the end.

Turn chicken, and add pepper strips. Cover and cook 5 additional minutes or until chicken is done and pepper strips are tender.

Everything's nicer with bell peppers!

My Rating: 4/5 "It was nice to take big bites of well-seasoned chicken. The peppers added nice punch, the chicken was moist, and the whole thing was wonderfully low-cal. An enjoyable dinner!"
