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.

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 flour tortillas (I use the 10 inch tortillas)
Directions:
Place chicken breast in crock-pot. In separate bowl, mix soup, water, salsa, and rice. Pour mixture over chicken. Cook on low for 4.5-6.5 hours (or until chicken is cooked through). Shred chicken. Fill tortilla with chicken and rice mixture.

Black Bean Chicken
Rating: 5 stars
Approximate Cost: less than $10
Comments: I found this recipe online as I was trying to figure out an idea of how to get rid of some of the black beans we had in our pantry. I was a little skeptical about mixing black beans and cream cheese, but it was phenomenal and I will definitely make this again! It was also good the next day with some tostito scoops.
Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup salsa
1 can of black beans
1 can of corn
1 8oz. package of reduced fat cream cheese
Directions:
Put the chicken, salsa, black beans, and corn in the crock pot and cook on high for 5 hours. With a half hour remaining, add the cream cheese (just plop it on top and break it up with your spoon a bit) and let that cook for the remaining half hour. Stir all the ingredients together and serve.
