cold, lower cal lunches are becoming a staple in my diet for The Great Lock In and you can truly never go wrong with a southwestern-style anything when there’s a heap of cilantro in it

yields: 5 servings

course: lunch (or din, but very lunch vibe) main

prep time: 10 mins

cook time: 15 mins

total time: 25 mins


what you’ll need

  • 1.5 lbs chicken breast
  • salt & pep
  • 1 cup nonfat greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup light mayo
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning (i used siete mild!)
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup of cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 1/2 cup fire-roasted corn (about half a can)
  • 1/2 medium red onion, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro

instructions

  1. Season top and bottom of chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  2. Add the chicken to a large sauce pan, and cover with at least 1″ of water and bring to a boil (cursed i know, but its the best way to make shredded chicken).
  3. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 15 minutes, or until internal temp reaches 165F.
  4. While the chicken is cooking, make the sauce mix: Add the greek yogurt, mayo, lime juice, and taco seasoning to a bowl and mix well. Fold in the black beans, tomatoes, corn, onion, and cilantro.
  5. When your chicken is done, shred it however you like to! Personally I toss them hoes in my precious KitchenAid and let it rip, but pulling it apart with 2 forks does the trick as well.
  6. Add the chicken to the mixture with the rest of the ingredients and mix well to combine and ensure everything is thoroughly coated.
  7. Enjoy! I like mine with tortilla chips :p
