We tried a new recipe last night, and modified several recipes we have seen to come up with something that fits our eating plan. It was easy, and turned out really good! Two of the girls ate it, but of course we had one that wouldn't try it. Honestly, I was just too tired last night to push her, so made her a sandwich instead. One thing I really liked was that the spinach and mushrooms were tiny from being chopped, and the girls didn't really notice either.
Recipe:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cans 15 oz diced tomatoes
3 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
3 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 cans black beans, rinsed
1 cup chopped spinach (You could definitely add more spinach, and it would taste great, but I was trying to add just enough that the girls wouldn't turn up their noses at it!)
1 cup diced mushrooms
shredded cheddar, greek yogurt, and banana peppers for topping
Place chicken breasts in crock pot.
Pour chicken broth over chicken, add olive oil, tomatoes, and seasonings.
Cook on low for about 4 hours.
Remove chicken from crock pot after 4 hours.
Add black beans, spinach, and mushrooms to broth and cook an additional 30 minutes on low.
Once finished cooking, strain and save broth.
Shred cooled chicken, and add to bean/spinach/mushroom mixture. I added a few tablespoons of the broth to the mixture as well, and froze the remaining broth for a future soup recipe.
Options: The chicken is delicious with a little shredded cheddar, greek yogurt, and banana pepper on top. We are eating with a salad this week, and the girls had with corn as a side. You could also wrap in a wheat tortilla.
21 Day Fix Challengers - I filled a red container with the chicken mixture, and count as 1 red (chicken and about 1 T greek yogurt), 1 yellow (black beans), 1/2 green (spinach, mushrooms and diced tomatoes), 1 blue (shredded cheddar cheese).
