Lou Lou, there's a fair bit of cheese in it... that may be the reason. If you cut back on the cheese, I don't see why you couldn't use it during Phase I.

Thanks Ellis! I just ate one

I will cut back on the cheese next time. Hope I didn't blow my diet. Will freeze the other pepper for Phase II.

The recipe wasn't bad. But I would like a little more crunch next time. Maybe more veggies, peppers, broccoli and cauliflower.

Mmmmmm ... sounds yummy. I forgot to thaw meat today so I put aubergines, zucchini, capsicum, mushroom, fresh rosemary and olive oil in a dish in the oven and baked for one hour. I discovered the red onion and garlic once it was half cooked so too late to add it. It was so yummy and filled me up. Similar tastes to this recipe I think.

Hi Lou Lou Thanks for the recipe it looks yummmy !! I never thought of puting chicken in the peppers other than ground meat. But again I'm not a great cook.I really don't know if its the cheese or not, according to the book there are no limitations on cheese Have a great day. Hugs BB
