MEAL PREP IDEA! What are you having for lunch this week??
I have been loving stuffed peppers. They are very easy to whip up and they stay good all week. This week I made broccoli cheddar stuffed peppers! I eat these for dinner a ton! For lunch, I split the recipe in half to have my normal one point lunch. It is filling enough for a quick lunchtime snack!

- Meanwhile, grease a large, tall pan with cooking spray and heat up over medium heat
- Add chicken and begin to break up as you cook. Once slightly broken up, sprinkle with all the seasonings and continue to cook and break up
- Cook the chicken until almost completely cooked, until almost all the pink is gone

- My fiance loves to add ⅛ cup of extra cheese onto each of his peppers halves then pop it back in the oven until it has melted! (1 point)
