You Can Ring my Bell Peppers and Chicken

First off, the pic. Yes, that is me, your humble blogger. On my journey to loose 100 pounds. So far so good heh? Had a brag (I'm actually down almost 55 pounds as of today, but I'm not one to brag... oh wait...).

Today is a good one, especially if you like red and yellow bell peppers. If you don't, sorry. You might want to skip this one or add squash or zuccini instead. Here we go! I call this one:

You Can Ring My Bell Peppers and Chicken

You will need:

1 red bell pepper (cubed) Keep a few of them long though, just for different textures.
1 yellow bell pepper (cubed)
5 chicken breast tenderloins
3 little sprigs of broccoli (chopped up small)
LOTs of dill
2 tbs minced garlic
1 tbs butter
3 handfuls (roughly 3 cups) of your fav pasta
a good shake of "Herby" seasoning (or your fav)
handful of fresh spinach

Start with a cold skillet and sprinkle it pretty heavy with the dill
Warm it up over med heat to where you can really start to smell the dill

While the chicken is cooking, start the water and boiling for the noodles.
Dump the bell peppers in and around the pan and let cook with the chicken.
Put some more dill over the whole thing.
Cover and let cook for about 2 minutes.

Flip the chicken to cook the other side, the first side should be nice and brown the dill should be cooked into it real well.
Add the garlic, broccoli.
Cover and cook again for another 2 minutes.

Now, heres the tricky part. You want to pull out just the chicken and putt it on a cutting board and let the pepper mix simmer on low heat in the pan, stir them around to pick up all the leftover bits in the bottom of the pan. Thats where the flavor is.

With the chicken, use a good grabber and cut up the pieces into chunks. Remember it is going to be real hot!

Tossing time!
By now, your pasta should be just about done.
Drain it and put in a bowl with the butter and "Herby" and toss.
Add the pepper mix to the bowl and toss
Add the spinach to the bowl and toss
Add the chicken to the bowl and toss (see a pattern here?)

Volia! Your done! Serve right away. Should feed 4 skinny's or 2 hefty's.

The point of this dish is the peppers. There a great source of vitamin C and other goodies that make you feel good. The spinach is full of iron and fiber, the broccoli is FULL of fun nutrients, and the pasta.. well no pasta is really GOOD for you, thats why there is not a lot in this dish. My wife is allergic to wheat, so we use the brand in the photo. Brown rice noodles! Yum!
