I have been on a mission lately to be more dedicated to clean meals with higher protein content. If all goes according to plan with venue shopping, my fiancé and I will be celebrating our big day in 8 months (a little scary time wise actually writing that down!)
Other than wanting to obviously fit into my dress right, it's actually been nice too seeing the changes in my body I've made with consistently working out again after a long hiatus (weird concept, right?) If anything, I want to make sure my diet will compliment my changed work out routine. I'm always open to ideas and suggestions, so if anyone has had success with certain dietary changes, I want to hear them!
This little meal does have it all though ... Flavor, low in calories, freezer and budget friendly and super versatile. Since you get an insane amount of leftovers from just 2 chicken breasts, I like to serve it in different ways so I don't get bored ... Tacos, over quinoa, enchilada or even just a larger serving in a bowl with se avocados and Greek yogurt. Try it out!
-5 cloves garlic, minced
-1 can black beans
-1 jar taqueria style salsa (I used Fresh and Easy's "Fire Roasted Tomato Salsa")
-2 tbsp tomato paste
-1 tsp rosemary
-splash of EVOO
-1 pinch red pepper flakes
1. Spray your trusty crockpot with a Misto of EVOO. I threw in both breasts full on frozen and it was totally delish.
2. Add the rest of your ingredients and cook on low for about 5 hours.
3. When you're ready, remove the breasts from the crockpot and shred ... It was super easy to do!
4. Return your shredded chicken back to the crockpot and mix with the salsa and beans.
5. Serve which ever way makes your heart happy!
