Love to eat in bulk? Guilty over here! Eating in bulk is what led me to needing to lose 80 pounds. I was always that person that more was better.

Something I learned when I lost 80 pounds and taught myself to cook is that you CAN eat in bulk when you add a ton of vegetables to a meal. Vegetables are naturally low in calories and they’re filled with fiber and water.

That means they’re more filling and will keep you full for hours!

Veggies are a great way to add bulk to your basic meals without adding a ton of calories and something I talk a lot about to my clients.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb chicken breast boneless, skinless
  • 16 oz red salsa
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth no sodium added
  • 1 green bell pepper diced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 orange bell pepper diced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper diced
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 10 oz cabbage shredded
US Customary – Metric

Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients except the cabbage in a crockpot except the cabbage. Cover and set to cook on high for 4-5 hours or low 8 hours.

  2. Remove the cover of the crockpot and shred the chicken by pulling it apart with two forks. If it shreds easily, it is done. If it does not shred easily, it needs to cook slightly longer.

  3. Once the chicken is done and shredded, stir in the cabbage until it has wilted down into the sauce. It will take a few minutes to stir and wilt it in completely, but it will eventually.

  4. Serve the shredded chicken over lettuce, cauliflower rice, brown rice or quinoa and with more veggies.

  5. Store in the refrigerator up to 7 days.

    Fixed this tonight, and really like it! (In general, I’m not the biggest fan of salsa chicken.) My one question is this – You say each serving is 164 kcal, and that there are 6 servings. I feel like what I ended up with is more than 6 servings. Do you know approximately how much you’re considering a serving? I weighed my portion and had 222 gm.
