It’s seriously going to be almost 80 degrees here guys! It only March! I still need at least one more good day of snowboarding in the mountains. It makes me sad to think I might have to wait until next season. One of our favorite things to do during spring skiing is take our portable grill up and have a BBQ in the parking lot. It may sound a little rough, but hey, Colorado is a different place, and we all have a little redneck in us. I guess all this warmer weather does get me excited for camping.
Easy Crockpot Shredded Chicken Burrito Bowls
I’m alway up for easy. Who isn’t? I know you work long days and just want something quick, healthy and delicious to throw together after work. I made this recipe the other day because its easy and seemed to hit the spot. Shredded crockpot chicken can be used for a ton of recipes. For this one, I was craving one of those burrito bowls from Chipotle. I wanted a healthier and lighter version that didn’t make me feel weighed down after eating it. The best part about making this chicken is the leftovers. I plan on posting several other recipes where I use this easy crockpot chicken. I hope you enjoy!
