Sauteed Chicken and Red Peppers

Sometimes cooking for one can be a bit of a pain. This is a favorite dish of mine; it's quick, simple, delicious, and a great way to use leftover chicken. Serve on a bed of rice, couscous, or noodles or for a low-carb option, omit the starch.

Ingredients

• 1 green onion, chopped
• 3 slices bacon
• ½ red bell pepper, chopped into 1-inch pieces
• 1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste (Optional)
• ¾ cup cubed, cooked chicken

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon slices and drain on paper towels. When cool enough to handle, chop bacon into 1-inch pieces.

Step 2

Add chicken, bell pepper, green onion, and bacon to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until bell pepper has softened and chicken is heated through, 7 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
