Chicken stuffed peppers with guacamole

Already feeling much better on day 3 today! I basically had a huge breakfast with lots of chicken and eggs, which easily kept me full until lunch. Lunch consisted of a salad with smoked mackerel, and I wasn't hungry again until dinner.
As for dinner, I decided I'd make something special tonight; stuffed peppers.
My first idea was to stuff them with some beef, but I figured a chicken stuffing would be good too. And totally different!
These worked out so well, as you can see from the pictures they're nice and firm on the inside, not too wet, not dry at all. The guacamole made a tasty side-dish, adding some good fats to my meal. Yum!


I couldn't get all of my chicken mixture inside the peppers, because I simply had too much.. So I put the leftovers in some silicon muffin cups and baked those for 45 minutes; making small chicken burgers. Perfect for snacking or adding to a salad.
