Ground Chicken and Bean Bake by Adam Janowski

I’ve had a dish like this many times before, usually at potlucks or picnics, but this was the first time that I tried to make it with chicken instead of ground beef. It turned out so well that I think I will always do it that way. I included the red pepper just to spice it up a bit, but left it optional depending on your taste.

Three things to love: the dish is low-fat, the brown rice and lentil combo forms a complete protein without the addition of meat, and it adds…
