CROCKPOT INGREDIENTS

• ~3lbs of chicken

• 1 jar of salsa verde (we buy 2 the store so we can have some extra to add on the days that we're eating this)

• 1 cup of chicken broth

• Desired amount of green pepper sauce

• 2 tablespoons of my salt-free taco seasoning (warning: this makes the crockpot less verde, but I highly recommend adding extra seasoning for more flavor, because who likes eating boring food, right?!)

CROCKPOT INSTRUCTIONS

• Spray your crockpot with cooking spray

• Add all of the above ingredients to your crockpot

• Cook on low for 5-8 hours

OTHER INGREDIENTS TO MAKE THIS A COMPLETE MEAL

• Your choice of veggie - we recommend broccoli/cauliflower rice or make it into a salad with lettuce, tomato, etc.

• Avocado for a healthy fat

• Tortillas or bread if you need more carbs in your diet

When your crockpot is done, divide it into your favorite meal prep containers, and this gives you & your significant other enough food for 3 meals each! As an example, Richie & I will eat this for lunch on Monday, Wednesday, & Friday during the week. For veggies, we like to buy microwave bags of broccoli/cauliflower rice or use the chicken salsa verde in a simple salad, or you can even assemble it into a chicken taco wrap.

Protein servings are about 6oz of chicken per meal & we split the bag of broccoli/cauliflower rice (veggie), split an avocado each meal (healthy fat), & tortillas on the side (optional carb). If you follow Beachbody's portion control containers, this recipe is 1 red (chicken), 1 green (broccoli/cauliflower rice), and 1 blue (avocado). If you have a wrap or piece of bread, that is equivalent to one yellow container. If you want to learn more about this diet, read this post!
