Instant Pot Low Calorie Chicken! Meal prep chicken in 20 minutes in an Instant Pot with only a few ingredients. Perfect for easy low carb lunches or weeknight dinners. Serve on a salad, over rice, in tacos, casseroles and more!
You guys know how much I LOVE to meal prep. Having a healthy meal plan is key to getting started with meal prepping. It helps me stay on track with my goals. I find when I don’t have that plan, I eat whatever whenever. Sound familiar? That’s why I love my weight loss meal plans because it’s like no other meal plans.
With these meal plans, you don’t get a PDF like other plans. You actually get 5 days of meals and snacks then schedule your meals online and print your grocery list. This means you’re not wasting money on extra groceries or wasting time meal prepping food you’re going to throw away.
Not only that, the calories and macros are figured out for you. Other meal plans DO NOT do this. So, there’s no more having to track in an app how many calories you are eating. It’s EASY and I’m all about EASY like this EASY peasy Instant Pot shredded chicken!
Shredded chicken is one of my favorite things to meal prep. EASY to make, literally just a few ingredients and super versatile to throw on salads, tacos, over rice or in a casserole. You can make this Instant Pot Shredded Chicken in under 20 minutes!
Before I bought an Instant Pot, I made shredded chicken in my slow cooker. The only problem is that doesn’t work when you’re in a jam for time. Also, with the Instant Pot you can cook chicken frozen. Life changing!
Don’t believe me? Try it and see for yourself how EASY it is!
