Fiesta Lime Chicken

HELLO, ALL!😁✌🏼♥️


I looooove sharing cheap easy meals!!


So here's a new Crock-Pot recipe for you: FIESTA LIME CHICKEN🐓


It's a great meal if you're cooking for kiddos! Or if you're like me and looking to meal prep for a few days without spending a ton of time and energy.


Save it and try making it yourself.


It took about 5 minutes TOTAL to prepare, and it tastes INCREEEEEDIBLE🤤🤤.


And you can make it anywhere a Crock-Pot will fit! -- Dorm room, hotel room, studio apartments, basements, etc.


Check the costs and macros at the bottom of this post!


Ingredients:

3lb Boneless skinless chicken breast ($7.50 on sale)

1 16oz jar salsa ($2.99)

1 1.25oz packet of taco seasoning ($0.89)

3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro ($.05)

1 lime, juiced ($.40)

2 tbsp avocado oil ($.50)


Directions:

1. Put salsa, taco seasoning, cilantro, avocado oil, and juiced lime in the Crock-Pot and stir.

2. Place the chicken in the Crock-Pot and coat it in the mixture.

3. Cover the Crock-Pot, set to low, and cook for 7-8 hours (or on high for 4 hours).


Number of servings: 8

Total cost: $12.33

Cost per serving: $1.54

Calories per serving: 240

Macros per serving: 9g carbs/ 33g protein/ 8g fat.


It's up to you how you serve the chicken! (In tacos, burritos, or with rice and beans).


For me, I'll serve it over 200 grams of cooked brown rice. It's nutrient-dense (adds about 246 calories), cheap (it adds less than $.20 to the meal), easy, and all-natural.


Plus this recipe is super low in carbs, so this helps balance out the macro nutrients to make it a more balanced meal.
