Curry Chicken with Red Peppers

How many of you go to the grocery store and buy a ton of stuff and then swing through a drive thru on the way home because you're worn out from the shopping and don't want to cook when you get home? Well this meal took 15 minutes and involved stuff in my fridge and stuff that I had just purchased at Sam's Club...and it was healthy to boot...way better than fast food....

Curry Chicken with Red Peppers
2 c. diced chicken off a rotiserrie chicken
1/2 a red bell pepper, sliced thin
1/2 an onion, sliced thin
tsp minced garlic
salt, pepper and red pepper flakes to taste
2 c. cooked brown rice
1 Tbsp curry powder
1 tsp cumin
1 small container of plain, nonfat yogurt

Saute the onion, garlic and red bell pepper. Add chicken. Add seasonings. Add yogurt. Stir it all up and put it over brown rice. (This recipe makes enough for two meals).

I served it with grape tomatoes, hummus and whole wheat pita.

Excellent, fast dinner....Literally 15 minutes because the chicken was already cooked. I'm a huge fan of the rotiserrie chicken. You can get several meals out of one of those babies and you don't have to cook it yourself. Katelyn just ate a piece of chicken with grape tomatoes and some cooked carrots.
