Chicken Chili Verde

Now that I am through my five day quick start meal plan I have to find recipes that are low in calories, filling and toddler friendly.  All the adjustments of last week's recipes can be time consuming, but completely worth it being I lost 3 pounds! Check out my post about Beachbody if you want to join me in a life changing journey or just learn more about what I am up to these days!

This recipe is from my trusty subscription to Cooking Light Magazine. Recipe serves four and claims to have 258 calories/serving. It came out amazing. Enjoy!
