  • ½ cup sour cream

  • Juice of 1 lime

  • 1 tablespoon Stonewall Kitchen Pepper Jelly

  • 1 teaspoon Good Shit seasoning

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Vegetables

Use whatever is in your refrigerator! We used:

  • Bell peppers, chopped

  • Homegrown cherry tomatoes

  • A drizzle of olive oil

  • Salt and pepper

Protein Boost

  • 1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained

  • 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained

Creamy Sweet Heat Sauce

  • ¼ cup sour cream

  • ¼ cup cottage cheese

  • 1 teaspoon Stonewall Kitchen Pepper Jelly

  • A sprinkle of Good Shit seasoning

Optional Serving Ideas

  • Warm tortillas

  • Quesadillas

  • Rice

  • Salad bowls

  • Lettuce wraps

Instructions

1. Marinate the Chicken

Combine sour cream, lime juice, hot pepper jelly, Good Shit seasoning, salt and pepper.

Add chicken strips and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

2. Build the Sheet Pan

Line an enamel sheet pan with parchment paper.

Arrange chicken strips on the pan. Scatter chopped peppers and cherry tomatoes around the chicken. Drizzle vegetables lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Cover with foil.

Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes.

3. Add the Beans

Remove the foil.

Add the rinsed chickpeas and black beans to either side of the pan.

Return to the oven and bake uncovered for another 20 minutes, until chicken reaches 165°F.

Allow everything to rest for 5 minutes.

4. Make the Sauce

Blend together:

  • Sour cream

  • Cottage cheese

  • Pepper jelly

  • Good Shit seasoning•add some AW Shit for more heat

The sauce adds creamy sweetness with just enough kick.

5. Serve Your Way

We had tortillas that needed using, so we warmed them in a skillet until they puffed up and became wonderfully chewy and delicious. Then we piled in the chicken, peppers, beans and sauce and made a few quesadilla-style wraps.

It was exactly the kind of protein-packed fuel needed before a 30-minute driveway workout.
