Salsa Chicken
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (1lb, 450g)
- 16 oz mild salsa sauce 450g
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp paprika powder
Cauliflower Rice
- 1 lb cauliflower floret 450g
- ½ tsp salt
Bell Peppers
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Pinch of salt
Take out your chicken breasts and add them to a pot. Pour in the chicken broth and salsa sauce. Add paprika and chili powder. Give it a stir.
Cover the pot with a lid and bring it to boil. Once that’s done, lower the heat and let it simmer for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 425F (220 C). Cut all the bell peppers into ½ inch (1.3 cm) thick strips. Afterward, place them on a baking sheet and spray them with olive oil. Make sure it covers the peppers well and sprinkle a little bit of salt. Then, roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes until slightly browned.
While chicken is boiling and peppers are baking, take out your cauliflower floret. Wash it and break it apart. Shred-it in the food processor and let it steam for around 10 minutes. Add some salt to your taste once finished.
Once the chicken has simmered for 30 minutes, shred it with forks inside the pot and give it a stir afterward. Turn off the heat.
Once all the cooking is finished, salt the cauliflower and add it into the food storage containers. Divide all the portions in half and add chicken followed roasted pepper into the container.
You can store this meal prep in a fridge for up to 4 days. Glass containers tend to keep the food fresh for longer.
