This is an easy, quick recipe to meal prep for the entire family! Which kid does not like tacos and you have the option of a high protein, low carb meal for you :-)
For taco chicken
Ingredients
5 boneless chicken breasts
2 packs of McCormick chicken taco seasoning ( or any flavor taco seasoning of choice )
1 tablespoon oil ( I use avocado oil )
1/2 - 3/4 cup water ( depends on how spicy you like it )
flour taco shells
mild cheddar cheese
For salad
avocado
tomatoes
black beans
feta cheese
cilantro
Romaine lettuce
Salad dressing of choice ( I use the hidden valley ranch greek yogurt dressing because it is only 60 calories per serving and it taste great )
Method (recipe is on the McCormick package)
Cut up chicken into 1/2 inch strips ( remove fat )
Heat oil on medium heat
Add chicken and cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until no longer pink
Stir in seasoning and water
Bring to boil, Reduce heat and simmer 5 to 7 minutes or until most of the water is absorbed.
Kids Option
Spoon chicken taco onto flour taco shell
Top with favorite toppings ( my kids like mild cheddar cheese)
Romaine lettuce salad with hidden valley light ranch dressing
High Protein Low Carb Option
Chicken taco ( 4 ounces )
Cilantro ( optional )
Avocado 25 grams
Black beans 1/8 cup ( just a sprinkle, you can omit if you do not want the extra carbs )
Tomatoes ( to your liking )
Feta cheese ( For this prep I could only find the Frigo crumbled feta cheese, use 1/8 cup however I usually use 1/4 cup of Stella reduced fat crumbled cheese )
Hidden ranch Greek yogurt salad dressing ( I use 1 tbsp which is half the serving because the taco chicken has lots of flavor on it’s own )
