“Chicken breast with lentils kalamata olives lemon and bell pepper. This is a favorite recipe of mine that I adapted to be lower fat and higher fiber. It originally calls for chicken thighs and orzo pasta so I swapped out the thighs for breast and the pasta for lentils. I also added bell pepper for a vegetable element. It turned out well not the same as the original but still enjoyable.”
