Ingredients
2 cups whole wheat couscous, cooked according to package directions
2 cups baked chicken breast, no skin, chopped into small cubes (great place for leftover chicken)
425 g can black beans, drained and rinsed
425 g can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
2 Tbsp tomato paste
2-3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (depending on how much heat you prefer), chopped fine
425 g can low-sodium chopped tomatoes, with liquid
3 Tbsp light cream cheese
85 g low-fat sharp cheddar, shredded
Nonstick cooking spray
Nonfat Greek yogurt (optional)
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Combine ingredients from couscous to cream cheese in a large bowl and mix well.
Spray a 2-quart baking dish (about 33 x 20 cm) with nonstick cooking spray. Pour the mixture into prepared dish. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle with shredded cheese, and bake an additional 5 minutes uncovered.
Add a dollop of nonfat Greek yogurt on top of each serving, for a creamier twist.
