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 :)
