Do you need a little help in the healthy recipe department? Try this easy to make crockpot meal. The chicken will almost fall apart it's so tender and moist.
Take your left-overs and put them over a mixed greens salad for lunch. You'll love the hint of curry flavor in this "hurry" meal! Crockpot "Hurry" Chicken Ingredients: 4 boneless/skinless chicken breasts 1/2 onion cut into large chunks 1/2 teaspoon of Ginger 2 tablespoons minced Garlic 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes 3/4 teaspoon of salt 1/2 tablespoon of curry powder 1 jar of Salsa (El Pinto has a very spicey/authentic flavor) Directions: Pour everything in a crockpot and cook on high for 4-6 hours. Serve over brown rice for lunch or with 2 corn tortillas. NO carbs with dinner. Serve with steamed or raw veggies. |
