Grilled Chicken with Spinach, Feta and Red Pepper Sauce - 22g Carbs, 8g Fiber, 11g Sugar

{Omitting added salt will help to reduce the sodium content. Since feta
is salty the addition of salt is not needed. Take care, Gloria}

The sweet pepper sauce picks up some smoke from the grill, a perfect
counterpoint for the full-bodied sheep cheese dressing the herb-grilled
chicken.

To grill the peppers, preheat grill. Place 2 red bell peppers on grill
and cook, turning until charred all over. Place peppers in a paper or
plastic bag to let steam for 10 minutes. Peel and seed peppers.
