It is warm and wonderful outside. If you are like me, you’re firing up the grill for two reasons- 1) you want to be outside to cook and 2) you don’t want to do dishes so you can stay outside longer. This chicken tastes decadent without adding too many calories… Just in time for your worrying about that bathing suit.
Smothered Chicken – A Healthier Version
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, marinaded as desired
- 1 green bell pepper, quarted and cored
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced and in a foil packet with a bit of oil and garlic
- 1 large onion, peeled and thickly sliced
- Mozzarella cheese
Prepare grill to medium heat. Grill meat, peppers, onions, and mushroom packet until all are done. Combine in a glass dish and top with cheese. Allow to melt before serving.
Yum and the leftovers would be so good in tortillas!
Oh yes it would. I love things on tortillas.
Looks so good! I love putting the mushrooms on the grill too, especially the Portabellas. I’m so happy grilling season is here!
Me too! I love to grill and I love the fact that there are no dishes to wash afterwards.
Amen to that!
Aw yuuuum! That melty cheese looks so delicious! Is smothered chicken a traditional dish? I’ve never heard of it, so I wouldn’t know the non-healthy from the healthy version, but it looks like something I’d love to eat 🙂 Thanks for sharing your recipe x
Thanks for stopping by. I have tried the smothered chicken at outback and it has way more grease. And it tastes less fresh.
I’m looking forward to our upcoming grilling season when I can prepare dishes like this while remaining outside.
Has it finally stopped snowing there?
