Salsa Verde Crock Pot Chicken

IMG_20151129_171955803This is absolutely one of my favorites. You can’t get much easier than this recipe. Not only is it easy and good, but it is HEALTHY and goes a long way.

This recipe was shared in a private Facebook group while I was coaching an outstanding group doing my 21 day No Added Sugar Challenge. I added a little twist on the original recipe to kick it up a notch.

Salsa Verde Crock Pot Chicken

-5-6 Chicken Breast

-2 tsp cumin

-1 tsp black pepper

-1 tsp garlic powder

-1 Jar of Salsa Verde (read your ingredients and make sure it is all good and healthy ingredients)

-Frank’s Hot Sauce (to your liking) I add about 1 Tablespoon. If you don’t like a little kick then add 1/2 Tablespoon.

Add chicken to crock pot and sprinkle with seasonings and Frank’s Hot Sauce. Pour Salsa on top. Cook on low 6-7 hours or high about 3. Shred chicken when done. It may be a little watery, depending on the brand of salsa you use. If so, just spoon out some of the water. No biggie!

Serve over brown rice, quinoa, spinach salad (my favorite way) or in a corn tortilla. Top with some cilantro and fresh avocado. Bam! Dinner is served.

You should have left overs depending on how many you are feeding. I eat on this for about 3 days. This is a great recipe to plan to fix when you know your week is going to be a busy one. (Remember that planning and preparing to help you stay on track😊)

Let me know if you try it!

Much Love,

Jennie B’s Kinda like Chili Soup

One thing I always look forward to, when coaching a group of peeps, are the shared recipes.IMG_20160122_184106872

In my 21 Day Full Body Detox one of my Detox Warriors shared a recipe for a Kale and bean soup. While it was good (to me) my boys would not eat it, so I put Jennie B’s twist on it. They Loved it. My husband even said it is his new favorite. Whoa! I must of done good!

Kinda Like Chili Soup

-1 small onion

-1 tsp EVO

-2 can diced tomatoes

-1 can great northern beans

-1 can chili hot beans

-2 cooked chicken breast (I boiled mine)

-2 cups chopped Kale

-2 Tbs chilli powder

-1/2 tsp cumin

-1/2 tsp black pepper

-1/2 tsp garlic powder

Few shots of Frank’s Hot Sauce (optional)

I your pot sauté your onion with EVO, cook until transparent. In a blender, blend the 2 cans of tomatoes. Add tomatoes to the onions. Then add remaining ingredients, minus the Kale. Add the Kale towards the end and it is ready when the Kale has wilted.

Enjoy! And as always I would Love feedback if you fix it.

Much Love,

Jennie
