Stuffed Peppers and garlic buscuits.

In an earlier post on FB I referred to these as turkey stuffed peppers, but that's just what the recipe read... I actually used some of the chicken that I ground yesterday instead of turkey. which turned out great!!!

Here's what I used...

• 1.3 lbs ground chicken breast
• 2 tsp garlic, minced
• 1 small onion, minced
• 1/4 cups fresh cilantro, minced
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp cumin
• salt to taste
• 3 large bell peppers
• 1 cup fat free chicken broth
• 1/4 cup tomato sauce
• 3 cups long grain brown rice, cooked
• 1/4 cups fat free cheddar cheese
• cooking spray

Prepare brown rice.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 

Mince/Chop onion, cilantro, and garlic in food processor.  Spray medium saute pan and saute onion, cilantro and garlic. 2-3 minutes.  Add ground chicken and 'brown'.  Season with garlic powder, cumin, and salt (about 1/2 tsp).  Once 'browned' add chicken broth and tomato sauce.  Simmer 5 minutes.  Mix with rice.

Wash and cut peppers in half, cleaning out the seeds.  Place in a baking dish and stuff each pepper with chicken rice mixture.  Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes.  Remove cover, and top with cheese.

This amount made 6 servings in a pepper and 2 that was just rice and chicken (Neither Kyle nor Kery like green peppers yet, but Kery's best bud did!!!)  If I calculated right each serving is 4.5 points...

I served with some carbquick cheesy biscuits that I made

• 2 cups carbquick mix
• 1 cups fat free milk
• 1 cups shredded cheese
• 2 tsp minced garlic
• 1 Tbsp melted fat free I can't believe it's not butter

combine mix, garlic, and cheese.... slowly add milk until combined.  Separate into 1 oz portions and bake 8-10 minutes.  brush with melted 'butter'. Whole batch is 24 points so each biscuit would be less than 2 points...  I think I'll get almost 20 or so biscuits... I have kept half for later in the week so I'll know for sure soon.

Note:  Next time I would add some salt to the mixture... or garlic salt.
