salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup barbecue sauce
2 red bell peppers, diced
1 fresh pineapple, diced
¼ cup diced red onion
1 pound zucchini noodles OR 1 bundle fresh asparagus
8 glass or plastic containers with lids
INSTRUCTIONS
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Grease skillet with cooking spray.
- Season chicken with salt and pepper then add to the skillet. Cook and stir for 10 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center. Add barbecue sauce and diced bell pepper to skillet and continue to stir until bell pepper is crisp-tender and everything is heated through. Remove skillet from heat.
