what you’ll need:
1lb chicken thigh or breast
1 container of salsa verde
Romaine lettuce
Avocado x 3 large
Raw sharp cheddar cheese
1 red bell pepper
1 green bell pepper
1 small yellow onion
Grape tomatoes
Brown rice
Instructions:
Chicken:
In an instant pot add the chicken and 1 cup of salsa verde. Cook on poultry setting for 13 min. Once cooked shred the chicken however you like (I like it super shredded…is that even a thing?? lol so I pulse it in a blender)
While the chicken is cooking, prep the guacamole, peppers and onions.
Guacamole:
You can use store bought or make it however you usually make it! Below is how I like to make it.
Take 3 avocados and smash them up. Add chopped red onion, juice of half a lime, salt, pepper, & garlic powder. Mix well.
Peppers & onions:
Slice the bell peppers and 1/2 onion and add to a pan on high heat with 1tbs avocado oil. Sear for about 5-7 min until slightly soft. I like to take it off once it’s charred so it still has a nice crunch!
Assemble:
2 cups chopped romaine lettuce, 1/3 cup chopped grape tomatoes, 1/3 cup cooked brown rice, 4oz cooked shredded chicken, cooked bell peppers and onions (as much as you want), guacamole, more salsa verde, and freshly grated raw sharp cheddar cheese.
Enjoy!!!
