Hi Busies! I hope everyone is having a great week! Today I’m sharing one of my favorite meal prep recipes. But before I get into that, I just need to say one thing. Earlier this week I found a spider web on my stove. Yes, you read that right. Yes, this is a cooking blog from a gal who uses her stove so infrequently that it LITERALLY has cobwebs. Before I lose you, let me just point out a couple things:
Which leads me to one of my easiest meal prep dishes, Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken. This meal is great because once you make the chicken, it becomes so versatile – you can put it over lettuce to make a salad, over rice to make a burrito bowl, or serve it in any of your other favorite forms of Mexican food – nachos, tacos, burritos – the possibilities are endless! Plus, depending on how many toppings you use, you can end up with extra chicken, which means bonus meals!
The other reason this meal is great is because of how easy it is. Especially during a busy weekend of meal prep, this is a true “dump and forget” meal, with only a few simple ingredients!
This round, Salsa Chicken became nachos. I added black beans, corn, and sprinkled with a Mexican cheese blend, and baked in the oven for 10 minutes. Then, I added chopped Roma tomato and a handful of cilantro, and (a necessity to any Salsa Chicken adaptation, in my opinion!) avocado. My favorite thing about homemade nachos is spreading the toppings evenly across the whole dish, so every bite has maximum deliciousness.
What would you do if you had an extra hour in the day? Let me know in the comments below, and then check out my meal prep plan – give it a try and enjoy that extra time you’ll gain! If you make Salsa Chicken, show me how it turns out by tagging @busygirl_bites or #busygirlbites on Instagram. Can’t wait to see y’alls creativity with toppings!
