Recipe:

  • 5 Chicken Breasts, boneless and skinless 
  • 2 Jars of Salsa
  • 1 Packet Reduced-Sodium Taco Seasoning (or 2 TBSP)
  • 1 Onion
  • 2 Peppers (Red, yellow, or green)
  • 1 Bag Sliced Mushrooms
  • Juice from 1 Lime
  • 1 Can (6oz) of Green Chillies
  • Chicken Broth (optional)

Directions:

  1. Line your slow cooker with a Slow Cooker Liner to make clean up a breeze
  2. Put the chicken in the slow cooker and squeeze the lime over the chicken
  3. Add the packet of taco seasoning
  4. Chop the onions, peppers, and mushrooms, throw on top of chicken
  5. Empty the chillies and salsa on top
  6. Cook on low for 6 hours
  7. Remove Chicken and shred, return to slow cooker

Notes:

  • Add the chicken broth to thin the soup.
  • Top with whatever you please or what your diet allows. I like cilantro and cheese.
  • Add nonfat plain greek yogurt right before serving for a “sour cream” taste
  • You can also add brown rice, quinoa, or black beans
  • You can add other vegetables too such as spinach and carrots
  • Holds in the fridge for a week and you can always freeze leftovers
