You’re not going hungry with this meal! It’s loaded with protein and fiber so it’s a lunch meal that will keep you satisfied for hours.

Green Chili Chicken Bowls

Serves 4

• 2 lbs. chicken tenders (or chicken breast)

• 3 cups salsa verde

• 1, 15oz can pinto beans, drained and rinsed

• 1, 4oz can green chilis

• 2 zucchini, chopped

• 2 Tbsp olive oil

• 1/2 tsp Himalayan pink salt

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

• 1/2 tsp ground cumin

• 1/2 cup shredded Mexican cheese

• 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

• 1 lime, quartered

You can use an Instant Pot or a Slow Cooker for the chicken. For Instant Pot, add the chicken and salsa verde to the pot, seal, and set to low pressure for 12 minutes then do a quick release.

For the slow cooker, add the chicken and salsa verde to the cooker and cook on low for 6 hours.

To make the rest of the bowl, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Add you zucchini, olive oil, salt, garlic, and cumin to a baking sheet (these are the best). Toss to combine. Bake for 20-25 minutes.

Mix your pinto beans and green chilis in a small bowl, set aside.

Once your chicken and zucchini are done, let’s assemble!

Grab 4 meal prep containers and in each container add in chicken, zucchini, bean mixture, cheese, and then top with cilantro and a lime wedge. See the photo above for more clarity!

That’s it. Enjoy!
