It's amazing just how easy and flavorful Lean and Green Recipes can be! This quick dish comes together easily and can be made in just a few minutes using a rotisserie chicken!
You can also make it from scratch -or- simply cook a few extra chicken breasts earlier in the week when making other meals. This low carb meal has a little bit of a kick of flavor and is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
Happy Cooking!
