• 3 cups fresh raw spinach
• 1 package fresh portobello mushrooms (sliced)
• 8 oz pack fresh baby tomatoes
• Farmers block cheese (or mozzarella - your personal preference)- sliced thinly to top off chicken (Approx. 8 slices)
• 1/2 medium onion diced

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Place raw chicken in a glass baking dish.
3. Put spinach on top, then mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, and then cheese.
4. Cook for 50 minutes or until pink is gone from center.
5. ENJOY!!

Whats really cool about this recipe is you can totally just make it a crock pot recipe also!

Simply put all ingredients the same way in the crock pot and cook on high for 4 hours! Walk away and come back 4 hours later to an awesome dinner for the family!!

Crock Pot Chicken and Black Bean Tacos

Over the weekend at our Coach Leadership Retreat, we had all the coaches make their favorite meals! One of my favorite dinners was this! I need easy meals that I do not have to prep a lot for so I am not wasting my entire day cooking! I love crock pot recipes because you literally throw in the ingredients in and walk away! 
So here it is.. EASY, HEALTHY, YUMMY!!!

Ingredients:
1 lb chicken breasts 
1 12 oz can of black Beans
1/2 cup fresh salsa 
1 packet taco seasoning
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup cream cheese

Directions:
Add all ingredients except cream cheese in crock pot and cook on low 6 hrs or high 4 hrs. Shred chicken in crock pot with 2 forks, pulling the chicken apart.
Add cream cheese in 20 min before serving and stir until melted.

I serve mine with greek yogurt, shredded cheese, lettuce/spinach, and anything additional you would like to add! I also use whole wheat shells, but whatever your preference is will work!

ENJOY!!
