Salsa Chicken

I was in need of a new recipe so I spent some time searching on my favorite websites.  I came across this one from HeandSheEatClean.com and figured I'd give it a try!  I LOVE crock pot meals, especially ones that don't have a lot of ingredients!  I have to say, it made my kitchen smell fantastic all day long and was absolutely delicious! 

Ingredients:

1-2 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken breasts

4 large diced tomatoes

1.5 cups (roughly) of your favorite salsa.  (I actually pre-made Homemade Salsa to keep it a bit cleaner)

2 tbsp garlic powder

2 tbsp red pepper flakes

1 tbsp black pepper

1 tsp cayenne pepper (if you want to make it spicy)

Directions:

1. Place the chicken in a crock pop, as well as all of the other remaining ingredients.

2. Cover and cook on low for 7 hours.

3. After 7 hours, shred the chicken in the crock pot and allow it to cool down before serving.  

 **Before serving, I added some diced onions, red and green bell peppers, and a little lime to enhance the flavor! 

This meal makes for GREAT leftovers!  You can serve it with brown rice (which is what I did), wrap it up in a whole wheat tortilla, serve in salad, or even eat it as a lettuce wrap!

I. AM. BACK.

Happy Friday friends!

 

I have been MIA for a bit on here. Its been a crazy couple of months. My husband and I were been going non stop this summer with being out of town or jammed packed almost every single weekend so we we're finally settling down and doing things around the house we haven’t done in mehhhhhhhhhhhhh 6 months.

Where have I been?

 

If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you’ve seen me post about my knee injury late August. It has honestly thrown me off track a good couple of weeks. I didn’t work out for 2 weeks. Sifted through my programs to see which would be the best fit for my goals and avoiding any additional damage to my knee. I have not ran in a month and has mentally affected me. When I run, I let all my thoughts out. It’s my way of releasing the craziness of the days. I had a goal to finish my 2^nd half marathon on October 19^th. I have been going back and forth on this for some time if I should even run it. My knee hurts day to day, so my mind is constantly changing on this decision. I am a coach. I am encouraging people to reach for their goals & dreams. I am telling myself I can do this run, but there is a side of me that doesn’t want that additional injury. Decisions, decisions. Let me tell ya.

I am sitting here 2 days before the run and I have officially decided to run the 5K. My sister was over last night and thought I was crazy to still wanting to do it and then I told her I hadn't trained since Labor Day, so now she is worried about the distance. I have had this pit feeling in my stomach for about 2 weeks that I would end up in the hospital from my knee and we've got plans to go to the winery to celebrate my birthday.  Smart decision made. 

My apologies for all my followers who have helped me through this little halt. I am feeling great on what's to come. 

Chat with ya soon.

XOXO,
