I don't know about you but one of my favorite things is cruising Pinterest and looking for amazing food recipe ideas. It seems I just can never follow a recipe to a T. I'm always vering off and doing my own thang. Well this recipe is no exception.
Chicken Enchilada Stuffed Peppers
These are so good even my daughter liked them. And the best part, LOW CARB!!
When you're in the middle of your Hammer and Chisel program and you can only have 2 sevings of carbs a day, you get pretty creative on ways to save those carbs for the important stuff like wine LOL
When I meal prep on Sunday's I usually throw 4-6 chx breasts into my crockpot. That chicken comes in handy during the week to make quick meals to keep my nutrition on track. This girls got GOALS YO!!
