Salsa Chicken on saute Spinach

This meal can be prepared two ways, all day (crockpot) or on the stove top, chicken breasts or chicken thighs. Your choice! :) 

I prepared mine in the crockpot on low setting for 4 - 6 hours. Chicken was tender but not yet falling apart. 

Still delicious!!!!! 
 Salsa Chicken (with Cauliflower rice) over sauted Spinach.

For lunch, I enjoyed a broccoli slaw salad, no dressing. 
(Apples, Cranberries, pecans and broccoli slaw)

Alright back to the recipe!

The Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts (chicken thighs would be good, too)
2 TBSP Coconut Oil
1 yellow onion, halved and sliced
2 cups diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
1 12 oz jar of Trader Joe's Salsa Verde
1 head of Cauliflower
1 TBSP Cumin
1/2 TBSP Paprika
Black Pepper (pinch of sea salt) to taste
Avocado

The Directions:
In the crockpot add chicken breasts (or thighs).  Add the onions, diced tomatoes, salsa, cumin, paprika and pepper and mix well.  Cook on High for 2-4 hours and on low for 4 - 6 hours. Add pureed cauliflower for the last 15 minutes. While waiting on the Cauliflower, saute  Spinach in a little coconut oil.

Add Spinach in bottom of bowl. Top with Chicken and Cauliflower mixture. Finally, top with avocado. 

Enjoy!
