Clean Eating Chicken Fajitas

Clean Eating Chicken Fajitas

We've been experimenting with some clean eating recipes and so far this is one recipe that we 
have loved!  We made the chicken Fajitas on Saturday night and we actually made extra so 
we would have lunch for Sunday.  Not only was it really delicious, it made great leftovers too!  
Honestly, leftovers are HARD for me but THIS is a HIT in my book! This is something you could 
make a larger quantity of if you are wanting to start meal prepping. Simply portion out for the 
entire week and have lunches for a few days.  For non clean eaters, you can still do the chicken 
fajitas but just give everyone else wraps instead of lettuce!  

Try this on your family!  Make sure to let me know what you think!

This recipe makes 4 servings and 2 fajitas each

Ingredients:
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp garlic powder

Crockpot Creamy Chicken & Rice Soup

Crockpot Creamy Chicken & Rice Soup

6 cups chicken stock
2 chicken breasts (boneless skinless)
2 bay leaves
2 stalks celery (chopped)
1 medium onion (chopped)
2 carrots (chopped)
salt (to taste)
1 teaspoon lemon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
3/4 cups long grain rice (NOT quick cooking rice)
1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup milk
10oz corn

Directions

Step 1
Add everything to the crock pot except the rice, corn, flour and milk. Cover and cook for 8 hours. The chicken will cook in the broth and add more flavor to the soup.
Halfway through cooking add the rice (or you can stir in already cooked rice at the end).

Step 2
About 30 minutes prior to serving, shred the chicken. In a small container with a lid shake together flour and milk really well and stir into soup. Add Corn. Let cook for 30 minutes more to allow the soup to thicken.
