Orzo and Chicken Stuffed Peppers

This dish looks beautiful and tastes like you cooked all day. Any combination of green, yellow, and red peppers works well; I use all three for color. You can also use low-sodium chicken broth and Smart Balance® spread.

Step: 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step: 2

Spray inside of green, red, and yellow bell pepper halves with cooking spray; place on a baking sheet.

Step: 3

Bake peppers in the preheated oven until slightly tender, about 10 minutes.

Step: 4

Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 2 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir 3 green onions and garlic until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add chicken, black pepper, and cumin; cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 4 to 5 minutes. Add orzo and chicken broth; simmer until orzo is cooked through but firm to the bite and broth is absorbed, about 11 minutes. Spoon chicken-orzo mixture into the bell peppers; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Step: 5

Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 7 minutes.

Step: 6

Heat 1 teaspoon oil and 1 teaspoon butter in skillet; Cook and stir portobello mushrooms and remaining green onion until tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Spoon about 2 tablespoons mushroom mixture onto each stuffed bell pepper.

To much possesion yourself can lead to lot of eat , late-night snacking, and mindless eating and it’s for this mind that Riner encourages people to indulge in “fun” foods every once in a while.

Avoidance on 2.00 AM snacking and cravings , it is much necessary to include some easy foods (or what one may perceive as off limits ). It means , if we always order the healthiest thing on the menu but come home and graze on chips, necessary we really wanted the junk food and should have just pleased it in the first place."

Because it comes to dinner , overeating or eating too much of the wrong item of food will make lead to bad habit on sleeping. On the other side, a meal that is not eating to much food than satiating can leave you wanting more and resulting in reaching for an unhealthy late-night side dish even closer to bedtime .
