Is this healthy for dinner?

It includes:

4 mini peppers

4 pieces of fajita chicken

haft a table spoon of butter

a sprinkle of pepper

That actually looks to be approximate dietary servings for your protein and veggie for basic survival, assuming the longest piece of chicken there is about 3" long. If you are heavy into exercising, pregnant or about become pregnant, or nursing, you will need to add more protein to your diet, and this dish should be served with a grain of some sort.

You can also use "complementary foods" to provide your protein. Protein is made of amino acids. There are 20 different amino acids your body needs, and they each have different functions. For example, the amino acid histidine helps make histamine, which plays a big role in your body’s immune system. The amino acid valine is involved in muscle growth, tissue regeneration and energy production. Poultry contains significant amounts of tryptophan which helps make the "brain chemical" serotonin, which regulates your mood, appetite and sleep.

Eleven of the twenty amino acids our bodies need are actually produced by your body all by itself, so we really don’t need to worry about getting them from our diet. Those are called "nonessential" amino acids.

The other nine — the so-called essential amino acids — we must get through our diet or supplementation since our bodies cannot synthesize them. Some foods have the whole group of essential amino acids, and they include foods of animal origin, such as eggs, meats, dairy and fish. Many other foods contain some- but not all- of the essential aminos. These foods include beans and other legumes (peas, lentils, peanuts), whole grains, corn and rice (both of which are actually grasses), and some vegetables. If you include beans or legumes with whole grains or cereal grasses, each will supply what the others don't, with the result being foods which provide all the essential aminos you need. Bean burritos with a side of corn chips, or peas/lentils/beans (split pea soup, for example) and rice are examples of effective pairings of "complementary foods". [ ref Cleveland Clinic ]

What's in the pan is healthy but it probably isn't enough to fuel your body. The amount looks way too small.

You should add some whole grains and dairy to the meal. For example, have it with rice.
As the other folks pointed out, this is nowhere near enough food for you unless you are my mini Aussie.

Depends on what you ate prior, but this doesn’t look like a well balanced dinner. Looks like not enough.
