I got the idea for this recipe from the Hungry Girl 200 reciepes for under 200 cal cookbook, just substituting chicken for tilapia. It was soooo good and takes care of the BBQ and sweet cravings in one shot. My kids even loved it. Hey, it got a picky three year old to eat...

I really wanted taco salad so I decided to try a chicken version. Decent on calories and good on protein. You can add beans to increase protien but will need to re-calculate for fat and calories

I love stuffed peppers. By changing the ingrdients to turkey instead of beef and using whole grain rice, it's now a healthy, YUMMY alternative packed with nutrition. Cooking the rice ahead of time and storing in the fridge saves time later.
