Meal Prep Salsa Verde Chicken Bowls (Easiest Ever)
Report
These Salsa Verde Chicken Bowls are THE definition of easy meal prep! The Salsa Verde Chicken cooks in the Crockpot (making it so juicy!) while we quickly char the grilled vegetables in the air fryer. So hands off, macro-friendly and makes the perfect lunch. Easily swap the rice out and serve chicken and peppers in a tortilla or alongside tortilla chips instead!

Instructions
Cook the Chicken:
- Add all the ingredients except the cilantro to the Crock Pot and toss around to evenly coat the chicken.
- Top with lid and cook on high for 2-3 hours or on low for 4-6 hours or until chicken is tender enough to shred.
- Shred with two forks, toss around in juices then stir in 1/4 cup fresh cilantro.
Cook the Peppers and Onions:
- Preheat the air fryer to 400F. Add the pepper and onion slices to a large bowl and add the oil, salt, garlic powder and black pepper. Toss until well combined.
- Spray the air fryer basket and place the peppers and onions inside. Air fry for 15-17 minutes, tossing half way through, to ensure they cook evenly.
Assemble:

When ready to serve, top with diced avocado and queso cheese, if desired, and enjoy! Each bowl:*1/2 cup salsa verde chicken (139g)*1 cup cooked peppers & onions (44g) *1/2 cup cooked rice (67g)
