I made up this recipe in my diet days when I tried to eat healthy. It is quick, tasty and low fat. You can either serve on top of rice or wrap in a soft tortilla for a great low fat and filling meal.

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb ground chicken (you can use sliced boneless breasts, but I always use ground, DO NOT use ground chicken in the tube) or 1 lb ground turkey (you can use sliced boneless breasts, but I always use ground, DO NOT use ground chicken in the tube)
1 zucchini, sliced
1 green pepper, sliced
1 red pepper, sliced
1 onion, chopped
1 cup mushroom, sliced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 -3 cups chunky salsa (I use hot)
4 soft flour tortillas (optional)
1 teaspoon olive oil (optional)

Steps:

  • Slice all veggies.
  • Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray or optional olive oil.
  • Cook ground chicken until completely done, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Add onions and garlic to pan and sauté until translucent.
  • Add zucchini, mushrooms, red and green peppers.
  • Cover, stirring often until cooked.
  • Don't drain liquid.
  • Add cooked ground chicken and salsa to veggies.
  • Mix well.
  • Simmer about 10 minutes.
  • Serve wrapped in a soft flour tortilla or over rice.
  • DO NOT use ground chicken in the tube as it is dry and ruins the dish.
