Easy Slow Cooker Healthy Shredded Mexican Chicken

{Easy Crock-Pot Recipe}

I am all about easy meals. This is something you can whip up in a few minutes and be done. Ain't nobody got time for elaborate meals, right!? I know I sure don't. Try Greek yogurt in place of sour cream. It's good. Trust me ;)

Makes moist shredded chicken for taco's, taco salad, lettuce wraps and more

1 large package of boneless chicken breasts
1 large can of diced tomatoes, undrained
1 small can of green chilis, undrained
sprinkle chicken with cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper
1 cup frozen corn (add during last hour or 2 of cooking)
Whole wheat tortillas
1 can or cup of black beans, as a topping.

Place everything in slow cooker. Sprinkle chicken well with seasoning. You can always add more later. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high 3-4 hours or until chicken is done.

Shred chicken and serve on whole wheat tortillas with avocado, black beans, mango salsa (tomatoes, garlic, mango, jalapeno, lime juice, and cilantro) hot sauce and brown rice on the side. 

*This time I threw in a few potatoes quartered and they turned out great. Kinda like chicken stew.

Freezer Breakfast Burrito's - OAMC

 

{Breakfast Burrito's - Make Ahead and Freeze!}

10 whole wheat tortillas
1/2 med onion, diced
2 medium/small potatoes, diced small

6 whole eggs
salt and pepper
Mexican blend cheese - about a tbsp per tortilla, go easy on the cheese

In a non-stick skillet drizzled with a little olive oil (tbsp or 2), sauté onions and potatoes until potatoes are done.

In a small bowl, beat eggs with salt and pepper.

Once potatoes are done, add in eggs and scramble. Fill each tortilla with about 1/3 cup mixture (I used a large cookie scoop) and top with cheese (optional). Roll up. Place on cookie sheet and freeze. Once frozen put them into a Ziploc freezer bag and freeze. To eat, microwave until heated through.

*You could easily make these with egg whites or half eggs and half egg whites if you wanted to lower the calories.

Happy 36th Birthday to ME!

Today is my 36th birthday and I have NEVER felt better in my own skin. I have worked hard on  my nutrition and made fitness a big part of my life. I have never been very consistent with staying in shape because I would fall off the wagon and not get back on for a year or so then I would start over and quit again. The classic yo-yo dieter. For a long time, I skipped meals and would eat a lot at night. I now realize how harmful that was on my metabolism because I am able to eat so much now and still maintain my weight loss. The challenge groups as a Beachbody Coach help me to be accountable and stay motivated each day. I always dreamed of a job where I would get paid to stay  in shape - BINGO! This is it! Winner winner chicken dinner. LOL!

If you're wondering what a challenge group is, it's a 60 day support group - private on facebook for easy interaction - that includes help with nutrition and support from other people just like you who are going through a fitness program such as Insanity, P90X, TurboFire, Brazil Butt Lift, Focus T25, RevAbs, P90x2, Power 90, Slim in 6, Hip Hop Abs or some of the other programs.

We really help each other and support without judging. It's been a huge blessing to me and so many others. If you are interested in the next group or want more information, send me an email at usarmywife@gmail.com or fb.com/fitwithjen1

There are challenge/support groups starting each month, so if you are really ready to commit to making long term lifestyle changes, are teachable, and willing to get active, please message me, or if  you are on the fence, send me a message or like my page. I am here to help however I can.

5 Week Before and After Progress with Focus T25

I am really blown away by the results I have achieved from this program, drinking Shakeology, focusing on clean eating most of the time (the meal plans I include make this so much easier) and plugging into my online support group daily. It's all about a lifestyle change, so it's a realistic long term solution. Focus T25 has challenged me and pushed me to a higher level of fitness.

I have been following the schedule exactly as it says (which is not something I typically do. I am so not a rule follower) and I am proud of myself for doing all the workouts. My husband has done almost all of the workouts with me. I think he missed one day. I wasn't sure if 25 minutes would be enough, but clearly it is. I have not been adding any other workouts on top of this one.

If you are ready to start this Focus T25 and would like daily support and accountability, a personal fitness and nutrition Coach for free, help with nutrition and a meal plan ever 30 days, contact me about my challenge group (online support group). My next 60 Day Fitness and Nutrition support group starts on March 31th, 2014.  Contact me at jenniferwoodfitness@gmail.com or facebook.com/fitwithjen1

To get started in my challenge group, make sure to order your discounted challenge pack, which contains shakeology and Focus T25 for the discounted price of $205 (Free shipping). Make sure to contact me once you complete the order, so I can send you a free meal plan and just connect with you and see how I can best help you.
