Nutrition Notes Bell peppers are a vitamin C powerhouse, with one pepper providing almost twice your vitamin C needs for a day. Peppers are also an excellent source of vitamin A and fiber. And as their color may suggest, they're loaded with antioxidants—which means they help lower inflammation and chronic disease. Chicken, both white and dark meat, provides complete protein and other vitamins and minerals that are necessary for good health. While thigh meat contains a bit more saturated fat than breast meat, both can fit into a healthy eating pattern. Cook Mode (Keep screen awake) Ingredients 1/2x 1x 2x Oops! Something went wrong.
