Simple & Easy Meal Prep

Alright, you've got me. I am not posting nearly enough in this blog!!! I get asked all the time for more SO here I go folks!! This year I will try to remember to SHARE more!! 

Be sure to add your meal into your myfitnesspal app and to weigh/measure out all of your portions! 

Makes 5 servings
Time: 6 hours (includes crockpot time)

What You'll Need:
2 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts (about 16 oz)
1 1/4 cups Quinoa, dry 
3-4 heads of Broccoli, cut into pieces
1 can No Salt Rotel Diced Tomatoes with diced Green Chilies
1 Avocado, diced
Dash of Salt & Pepper

Directions:
1. Line your crockpot or spray with non-stick cooking spray and place 2-4 chicken breasts inside the crockpot

2. Add 1 can Rotel Diced Tomatoes, 1 can of water to crockpot, Salt & Pepper

3. Set to high for 4-6 hours (or whenever you'll have time to complete the rest)

4. When the chicken is about cooked, shred with two forks (looks like pulled chicken after). Preheat oven to 400 degrees

5. Line a baking sheet with tinfoil, spray with non-stick cooking spray and lay out broccoli

*I did not use this entire bag! I used about 3/4 of it!

6. Place broccoli into oven for 20 minutes, flip and cook for anther 10 minutes

7. White broccoli is cooking, put quinoa in a pot with 2 1/4 cups water (or low sodium chicken broth for more flavor). Cook on high until it starts to boil then place on low/simmer with lid for 10-15 min (until quinoa has soaked up the water)

8. Slice avocado in half, remove pit, and dice (I keep it in the skin until ready to serve)
9. Get out your containers and dish it out! (see below for serving portions)

Tips:
*I add the avocado the morning of so it's fresher (or right before I eat)
**I switch out the Quinoa for Sweet Potatoes (any grain or starch will do)! The goal is for a balanced meal! 
***I sometimes leave out the Rotel tomatoes and cook chicken with low sodium chicken broth!
****Choose up to 2 different veggies! Eat what YOU LIKE!! This is just an example :)
