Salsa Chicken Meal Prep

 

I am a very big on meal prepping. Sports and other after school activities make it nearly impossible to be home cooking. In order to stay on top of things and not get stuck ordering out, I meal prep and crock pot a lot. One of my kids favorite dishes is what I like to call Salsa Chicken.  Not only is it very delicious and easy to make, but its also good for you. That makes it pretty much a perfect dish. This is a great meal to use in meal boxes because it keeps really well.  I make extra to pack up in case the kids want some for lunch, or we just get too busy for dinner.

 

 

 

When I first started making this, I used a cookie sheet. I lined up my chicken and made a line of peppers and a line of onions. However, when I moved recently I threw all of my old cooking pans away. Of course, as life would have it, I found myself in the kitchen trying to make dinner with only two glass pie pans.  That only option turned out to be amazing.  Cooking the chicken and veggies in a smaller pan piled up on each other and covered makes the chicken juicier.
