To make the stuffing, place 1/2 cup of cream cheese into a bowl, add 1/2 a cup of arugula, 1 tbs of lemon shavings, 1 clove of crushed garlic, salt and pepper to taste. Slice the chicken breast into half without slicing all the way through.  Stuff the chicken and close it up (I used dental floss but toothpicks will work as well). Heat olive oil at medium heat and add the chicken. Cover with a smaller lid than the pan but big enough to cover the chicken.


Cook each side for about 10 minutes until it becomes golden brown.  Pour your favorite red or white wine into the pan and add corn flour and stir with the left over chicken juices to make the gravy.

This healthy recipe is easy to cook and very filling. The first step is to prepare the stuffing. I opted for ground chicken which I prepared by placing crushed garlic cloves and diced onions in a hot pan with olive oil. After the onions soften, add tomatoes and stir then add salt and pepper and an assortment of spices. I opted for onion powder, paprika and cayenne pepper . You want to spice this up generously because the pepper is pretty tasteless. Add the ground chicken (or whatever meat you choose) and cook in medium to high heat until dry. Even though i prefer my vegetables slightly cooked when it comes to ground meat, I find it easier to fry my vegetables before I add the meat, its a lot easier to work with that way.

Bring water to a boil, cut the pepper, remove the core then place into the boiling water and continue to boil for five minutes. Dry the pepper with a paper towel and stuff with the meat and top with mozzarella cheese. place in an oven at 200 Degrees for 15 minutes and serve. 

This recipe was taken from an assortment of recipes. In a bowl mush 3 very ripe bananas, add one egg, 1/4 cup of vegetable oil, 1/2 a cup of sugar (or apple sauce if you want to avoid sugar completely) and mix. Add 1 teaspoon of powdered cinnamon, 1/4 tsp of nutmeg, a pinch of salt, 3/4 tsp of baking soda, 1 tbs of Vanilla essence and mix.  Add 2 cups of peanut flour (or 1 cup peanut flour and 1 cup wheat flour if you’re not quite ready to go full on gluten free). Add 1/3 cup of cocoa and mix. Fold in 3/4 cups of chocolate chips. Place in baking tin and bake at 180 for about 40-45 minutes.

I have to confess, it doesn’t taste as good as regular banana bread, but if you’re on a diet and need a treat without breaking your diet. It’s especially good if you want to have that chocolate fix without breaking your diet. Avoid the sugar and wheat if you want to stick to your diet. I have to warn you though, the banana taste is lost in between the peanut aftertaste and the heavy chocolate taste. It is still surprisingly sweet.
