Trying hard to cut back my calories as i want to fit nicely into my winter clothing i adapted my portion to sit nicely on a bed of cabbage mix. Topped with non-fat yoghurt, salsa and tomatoes it was darn yummy! The rest of my family enjoyed theirs on a soft flour tortilla and generously sprinkled with cheddar.
Keeping on budget i purchased a bag of assorted bell peppers at Grocery Outlet for $1.99, which contained 6 peppers and i used 3. My onion was roughly .50 and the chicken i got with a 30% discount on a large bulk package at Safeway making it roughly $1.80lb. My bag of tortillas was less than $2 and they used about half... add in a little salsa, spices, yoghurt and cheese i would say this entire meal cost a total of $7 to feed the 4 of us PLUS lunch the next day for 2.
I cooked my chicken first for 20 minutes after it sat in the marinade all afternoon. While it baked i prepped my veggies and put them aside to wait. Easy!
After the chicken had been in the oven for 20 minutes i puled it out and tossed in my veggies, threw it back in for 15 minutes and voila- ready! Cooking the peppers for only 15 minutes kept them ever so perfect with a hint of freshness to them still.
