My parents recently purchased a groupon for a month of boot camp. This has inspired some healthy living (at least for the time being) in the house. The trainers who teach the class posted this recipe and my dad decided to give it a try. It was delicious so this is now his favorite recipe to make and have leftovers throughout the week. I have to admit it's pretty delicious and awesome wrapped up in a tortilla with some guacamole and/or salsa.
You will need:
8 raw chicken breasts
2 jars of salsa verde
3 cans of roasted green chilies
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
a very large pot
Boil some water in the large pot.
Put the defrosted chicken breasts into the boiling water and keep them in until the chicken is about 75% cooked. My dad keeps them in for about 15-20 minutes or so.
After the chicken has been taken out of the pot, use two forks to shred the chicken.
Turning the burner heat to a simmer, put the shredded chicken and all other ingredients back into the pot. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes, until the chicken is completely cooked. The dish is ready to eat and will stay good for about a week in the fridge!
I have tried this recipe and it's delicious and healthy. Remember when you remove the Chicken also to remove the water in the pot before you put the chicken back in with the other ingredients. It should be obvious but not stated.
