Pulled Salsa Chicken

[ashley2212]

Put 3-4 raw chicken breasts in a crock pot, cover with a large jar of salsa, and leave for 6 hours.

When it's done, mix in a container of fat-free sour cream... although it tastes fine without it.

After being in the crock pot so long, the chicken pulls so all you have to do is stir with a fork. I am HORRIBLE in the kitchen but this was easy and diet-friendly :)

I LOVE sour cream YUM :ily:

Did you cut dairy yet?

I'm getting so sick and tired of grilled meat :violin:

I have a huge tub of this in my fridge. Tastes kind of like chili. A co-worker of mine gets fancy and puts in black beans and extra veggies, cumin, curry powder... but I'm not that motivated LOL

I haven't been having any dairy. My last prep I would have about 3oz of hoodia cal countdown ff milk (45 cals for 8oz). I would add a drizzle of my ff cream and add a shot of espresso, lol. I would use K's little tea cup to make this. It was my sorta STARBUCKS make believe treat. I had that up until the Friday before my show, it didn't hurt me I think but this time around since I am doing the cardio so early I only do the shot.

I love cumin. Its really good with black beans!

That chicken sounds yummy!!

[strawberryriddick]

Hell yes, this sounds fabulous :) Is there a particular salsa you use? Also, what would you add to it besides the sour cream? Would rice or beans be good? I like having one-dish meals.

I just grabbed some salsa off the shelf lol. I think it was Tostitos medium.

I'm sure you could get very inventive with this dish. Corn, beans, chopped veggies, etc. I had some in a wrap on Monday.

My only complaint about it is I don't know how much to eat :nerd: (I weigh all my meat). The salsa weighs it down.

Thanks for this! Threw it crock friday night low heat and ate sat morning. The sour cream set it off nicely.

[ashley2212]

Excellent!

Do the chicken breasts become dry if you reheat it?

I did the crockpot thing with a turkey breast a few weeks ago .. and when it came out, it was delicious. But eating it over the next few days was torture, as it was like eating cardboard.

I put the turkey breast in there for 8 hours though. I think next time I will try it for 4 hours instead.

[ashley2212]

No, not dry at all. The salsa and sour cream keep it very moist.

Moist. I hate that word :o

When I make something like this, I calculate it all as it goes in the recipe. Since it's all mixed, I then weigh the total. Whatever you take per serving is a percentage of the total. For ease of calculating, I usually figure out what 100g is for macros. Assuming you use the same recipe every time, then you know what each 100g serving is.
