teaching learning
Student growth + development The Wellness Kitchen teaches graduate assistants, dietetic interns and other students in the field how to use their knowledge about food and nutrition to educate others. The unique, realworld setting helps these students apply their skills outside the classroom. Students work with University and Lincoln community members; answer nutrition questions; and help facilitate positive behavior changes in diet and exercise. They plan, implement and evaluate their own cooking programs and many go on to pursue full-time positions in employee wellness programs or nutrition.
The Wellness Kitchen gave me skills I’ll carry with me to my future career in nutrition. It allowed me to test my ideas and I’ve learned a lot through trials and successes. It’s a great resource – not just for those who attend the events, but also those students who lead them! -Courtney Schnell, UNL Wellness Services Graduate Assistant

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, cayenne (optional) and cilantro. Set aside. 2. If you purchased pre-sliced chicken cutlets, skip this step. If using chicken breasts, slice them longways into two even slices and firmly pound the chicken using the smooth side of a meat tenderizer to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch. 3. Place chicken into a large re-sealable freezer bag and pour marinade over top, making sure they are completely coated. Allow chicken to marinate for a minimum of one hour to overnight. 4. Once chicken has marinated, evenly place six bell pepper slices in the middle of the chicken cutlet, roll up and secure with a toothpick. Repeat this step until all the cutlets have been rolled up and place seam side down in a prepared baking dish. 5. Brush tops of chicken with remaining marinade and bake, uncovered, at 375 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until the juices run clear.
