Sometimes cooking healthy can require a lot of work and when you are tight on time, you might forgo the healthy meal in favour of convenience. That is why it is so nice when you find recipes that are both healthy and time saving. This recipes from Damn Delicious is one of them. Everything goes in one pan, so clean up is a breeze. It also works well if you have a crowd, just use a large cooking sheet or 2 if you have smaller ones.
This recipe has a great source of protein in the chicken, vitamin A & C with the peppers and the onions have great antioxidants qualities. You can also add some good fats by having avocados as one of your toppings. If you have leftovers throw them on top of your favourite lettuce mix and you have a salad for dinner the next night. Super easy. Enjoy!
