I found a similar recipe on another site, but am really curious as to nutrition values as I make this ALL the time. Its a little different every time I make it, but i'll post the most usual recipe. I portion it out and freeze the leftovers .. makes for delish lunch or quick dinner! Can really make it your own, and honestly you cannot taste the pumpkin. ( I made this for my mom and her beau, who turns his nose up at anything healthy, and he LOVED it!) I usually use 1 lb of ground chicken breast, but today I made it with 1.5lbs of shredded chicken. I have to say, I LOVE it with the shredded chicken. would make a great sandwich! When done, top with some fat free greek yogurt and salsa! YUM! serve over brown rice or with bread! Ingredients:
pam cooking spray |
1 teaspoon garlic clove, minced |
1 jalapeno pepper, minced |
3/4 cup onion, chopped |

1 dash cayenne pepper |
