I threw these together the other night for a quick, but healthy meal. Low in fat, high in nutrients, and still a comfort food!
Ingredients:
2 green bell peppers
1 (15 ounce) can fat free chicken broth
1 cup couscous
1 tablespoon dry ranch dressing mix
1 chicken sausage
Directions:
1. Core and seed the peppers and cut in half lengthwise. Pre-cook in microwave about 4 minutes.
2. Bring chicken broth to boil and add dry couscous.
3. Stir in ranch mix. Toss in pre-cooked thinly sliced, chicken sausage.
4. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring to keep from sticking. Simmer on about med/low.
5. When most of the water has been absorbed, lay peppers on baking tray and spoon couscous and sausages into the peppers.
6. Bake at 400 about 20 minutes.
7. Add a light sprinkle of cheddar cheese if you'd like, or a dollop of fresh sour cream.
8. Notes: The couscous is uncooked. The chicken sausage I used was 110 calories and very low fat. When calculated out, I got 212 calories per serving.
