Comments: This is my "go-to" recipe when I've realized it's 4pm and I haven't cooked anything for dinner! It's quick and easy and tasty as well. It's a very light meal, so be sure to serve some heavier sides along with this. I also love this for lunch.
Ingredients:
2 green peppers (any color would work)
1 large can of white chunk chicken in water (tuna also works great)
1/2 cup salsa (use more or less based on your taste)
shredded cheese (I use cheddar or mozzarella)
2 slices provolone cheese
Directions: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Hollow out the peppers and blanch in the microwave for 2 min. Combine chicken and salsa. Place peppers on a baking tray and fill the peppers 1/3 with the mixture then sprinkle with shredded cheese. Fill up another 1/3 and sprinkle with cheese. Fill the final 1/3 of the peppers but don't place any cheese on top. Bake for 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and place the provolone slices on top and bake for another 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Pizza Chicken
Rating: 5 stars
Cost: less than $10
Comments: Holy cow. This. Is. Amazing. I had planned on making a pizza dip this past weekend but never got around to it, so I ended up trying this pizza chicken recipe instead and man was it tasty! It truly gave us the feeling that we were eating a yummy pizza, but obviously much healthier! I also recommend sprinkling some parmesan cheese on it right as you're serving. YUM!
Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 tsp dry Italian dressing
3 cloves minced garlic
2 green pepper, diced
1 onion, diced (I didn't feel like chopping an onion so I used a can of sliced olives instead)
1 14oz. jar pizza sauce
2 oz. sliced pepperoni (I used turkey pepperoni for a healthier option)
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (I used low fat)
Directions:
Sprinkle chicken with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning and place in a 4-5 quart crock pot. Top with onions, garlic, and bell peppers and pour pasta or pizza sauce over all. Top with pepperoni. Cover crockpot and cook on low 4-6 hours until chicken is thoroughly cooked.

Stir well, then sprinkle with cheese and let stand 5 minutes to melt cheese. Serve over hot cooked pasta or rice, or do as we did and eat as a stand alone dish.

Super Easy Chilli
Rating: 5 stars
Cost: less than $15
Comments: This is my hubby's recipe and I love it! Great for football season and cold winter days. I'm not a fan of spicy so this is a very mild chilli but it's delicious and really healthy too. Great with some shredded cheese on top and some tostitos scoops!
Ingredients:
1 lb. lean ground turkey (I get the 98% fat free)
2 cans diced tomatoes (I use the kind with basil & oregano already added)
2 green peppers
1 red pepper
1/2 onion
1 package sliced mushrooms
1 packet chilli seasoning (I use mild, but go with medium or spicy if you like it hot!)
Directions:
Dice the peppers and onion. Brown the ground turkey in a pan over medium heat. Drain off liquid and put in crock pot. Sprinkle the chilli seasoning over top. Pour the diced tomatoes over the seasoned turkey. Add in the diced peppers, onions, and mushrooms. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours.

Chicken with Peppers (not crock!)
Rating: 4 stars
Cost: less than $10
Comments: Growing up I watched my mom grab random ingredients from the pantry, put them together, and out came something yummy. I was always too scared to attempt cooking without a recipe until recently. I hadn't gone food shopping in a while so I scoured the pantry and fridge only to find a can of cream of mushroom soup and a pepper. I decided to be adventurous and it actually worked! It made for a quick, super easy, very yummy meal.
Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 can reduced fat cream of mushroom soup
1 green pepper
salt & pepper to taste
Directions:
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place the chicken in a baking dish and sprinkle with a little salt & pepper. Pour the cream of mushroom soup over the chicken. Slice the pepper in to strips and lay on top and surrounding the chicken. Bake for 40 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
