Chicken with Feta, Vegetables

Low carb meals don't necessarily have to be dry, tasteless affairs. We consulted old, reliable Cooking Light and added to the delicious Feta Chicken and Vegetables recipe. 

We needed more on the vegetable front and added mushrooms and yellow and orange peppers to their mix. The original recipe only accounted for two servings, so we increased it to about 8. 

The dish is savory and filling, and the vegetables add a satisfying crunch. 

This is a bit time consuming, but the effort is worthwhile, as the dish heats up well and makes great leftovers.

Prep time: 30 minutes

Cook time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 8 thin sliced chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon olive oil 
• 1 red pepper, diced
• 1 yellow pepper, diced
• 1 orange pepper, diced
• 2/3 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth 
• 10 oz sliced white mushrooms
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

Pre-heat oven to 350. 

Combine flour, chili powder, black pepper and salt in a shallow dish and coat each chicken breast in mixture. 

Heat oil in a deep pan and cook chicken for 3 minutes on each side, until browned. Transfer chicken to a 9x13 dish, sprinkle with 1/8 cup feta and bake in pre-heated oven for 10 minutes. 

Saute vegetable mix in the same pan for about 3 minutes. Add chicken broth and vinegar and stir until tender, about five minutes. In a separate bowl, mix vegetables and 1/8 cup of feta cheese.

Serve!
