Olive Pesto Chicken






      I am all about easy, in fact that may be my biggest motivator when creating recipes.  Such is the case with my Olive Pesto Chicken.  And did I mention this is a crockpot recipe as an added bonus!?  Each of the 6 servings are only 144 calories, 2.7g carbs, .4g fiber, 2.3g net carbs, 23g protein and 4.7g fat.  This is perfect on Salads, Wraps, or even a Sandwich.  Let your creativity, aka your tummy, be your guide!  ;)

Ingredients for six servings~

1.5 pounds Chicken Breast

1/2 cup Lemon Juice, more if desired

1/3 cup Olive Pesto Tapenade, sub with chopped Green Olives

1 medium chopped Onion

     Lay Chicken in lined crockpot, pour in Lemon Juice, top with Pesto or chopped Olives, and sprinkle Onions on top.  Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, remove when cool to touch, shred Chicken with forks, return to pot to absorb juices, separate into 6 equal portions using a food scale.  Store in fridge for up to a week, and use as desired.  I served mine on a bed of Greens, and mixed with Barley.  Enjoy  :)
