Alternative Stuffed Peppers
One of my fave light recipes from the southbeach diet cookbook. Author is not listed at site.
Preheat Oven: 350
4 skinned chicken breasts cut into 1" strips
4 sweet peppers (I used a mix of different colours so it looked rather pretty)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh or frozen parsley
1 teaspoon chopped fresh or frozen basil
1 teaspoon chopped fresh or frozen chives
Note: please don't use dried as it will not taste as nice! If you only have dried herbs substitute rosemary, marjoram and thyme.
1/2 teaspoon sweet Hungarian paprika
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt & pepper
Cut the peppers in half length-wise and de-seed. Spread a tiny bit of the olive oil into the bottom of a 9X17" baking dish. Pour the rest of the olive oil and all the herbs and spices over the chicken breast strips and massage in well. Place the strips in the peppers and the peppers in the baking dish. Pour a little bit of water into the bottom of the baking dish (about 1/4 of an inch).
Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees F. I used tongs to turn over the strips after the first 15 minutes so they wouldn't get too brown on top and not be cooked underneath but you probably could cover them with foil and only take it off for the last 5 minutes or so to brown. ENJOY!

Comments: This has been a favorite of mine for years. Very simple. Make sure you take all the pin bones out - I use tweezers to pull them out. Run your hand over the top of the fillet to feel any still in the fish.

Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
