Ingredients

  • 2 large red bell peppers
  • 1/2 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 1/4 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup uncooked converted rice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups baby spinach leaves
  • 5 teaspoons chopped fresh chives

Method

  • Cut bell peppers in half lengthwise; discard seeds and membranes. Arrange halves in a 9-inch pie plate. Cover with heavy-duty plastic wrap. Microwave at high 5 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain. Return peppers to pie plate.
  • Combine chicken and Cajun seasoning in a bowl. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the chicken; saute 4 minutes or until done. Remove from pan.
  • Add onion and garlic to pan; saute 1 minute. Add broth, rice, and salt; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes. Return chicken to pan; cover and cook 3 minutes or until rice is done. Stir in spinach and chives. Divide the rice mixture evenly among pepper halves.
