I had Chicken Ropa Vieja for the first time recently and loved how it was both extremely flavorful and very uncomplicated. This delicious dish is basically just chicken stewed down with tomatoes, peppers, onions, and spices until everything is tender and flavorful. Almost like chicken fajita stew. How can that NOT be good? Once I realized it would be an excellent candidate for the slow cooker, I knew I had to make some of my own.

I served my Chicken Ropa Vieja over rice, but you could also use it to fill a taco or burrito. OR, if you’re doing the low carb thang, just eat it in a bowl on its own! A little dollop of sour cream would be awesome on top, too. (I added a little cilantro to liven up the photos, but the dish has plenty of flavor on its own.)

Today I am putting a healthy twist on a Latin classic with a lighter variation of Ropa Vieja. Traditionally, Ropa Vieja or Carne Desmechada is made with beef, but I made this recipe with chicken and come to find out, it’s just as tasty as the traditional version. Served over rice with tajadas de maduro, it’s an excellent dish that the whole family will love.

As much as I love cooking, sometimes it’s just about getting dinner on the table as simply and quickly as possible. Well, most of the time lately! When you have kids, dinner time is definitely one the most hectic times of the day, along with the 15 minutes just before going to school in the morning! This Chicken Ropa Vieja or Pollo Desmechado is an easy dish to make and it’s delicious.

Instructions:

  1. First, Trim the chicken pieces of excess fat, if desired. Place the chicken pieces in the bottom of the slow cooker (4qt. or larger). Mince the garlic and add it to the slow cooker. Sprinkle the oregano, cumin, red pepper flakes, and some freshly cracked pepper over the chicken.
  2. Second, Slice the onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper into strips. Place the onion and bell peppers on top of the chicken in the slow cooker. Add the can of diced tomatoes (with juices) and tomato paste to the slow cooker. The tomato paste can be added in dollops and will be stirred in after cooking.
  3. Next, Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on high for four hours. After four hours, remove the lid and use tongs to stir the contents. Break the chicken into shreds as you stir the slow cooker. If the juices in the slow cooker are too thin, allow the pot to continue simmering on high without the lid for about 15 minutes to reduce the liquid. Taste and season with salt as needed (I added 1/2 tsp).
  4. Serve the ropa in a bowl, over rice, or in a warm tortilla.

Healthy Recipes | Lasagna Soup

This Lasagna Soup is one of my all time favorites! You get all the flavors of a delicious hearty lasagna in a comforting soup form! It’s loaded with beef, tomatoes and Italian herbs and the melty cheese just takes it over the top. This simple recipe may look a little daunting due to the long list of ingredients but a lot of it is pantry staples you likely already have so don’t miss out on this recipe thinking it’s too much. You get an herbed tomato based broth that’s filled with hearty bits of ground beef, and it’s finished off with a generous mound of cheese that melts perfectly into the steaming hot soup. This One Pot Lasagna Soup recipe can’t get any easier or more delicious!  It boasts layers of cheesy noodles smothered in rich marinara infused with garlic, onion and Italian spices all smothered Parmesan, mozzarella and ricotta  – drool – and all you have to do is brown your beef, dump in the ingredients and simmer away! But now, I am thrilled to introduce my “can’t-get-an...

Keto Dinner | Keto Philly Cheesesteak Pockets

This Philly Cheesesteak recipe is perfect for keto & low carb folks. By using fathead dough in place of bread, these Keto Philly Cheesesteak Pockets easily cut carbs, gluten, and grains. This dish is perfect for a crowd, as an appetizer, or as the main part of your meal when paired with vegetables or a salad. I include tips for making this dish, including a recipe for fathead dough if you need one. There is no special “Philly” cheesesteak seasoning so a good Philly cheesesteak recipe comes down to meat and cheese. The main thing is good quality meat. In this recipe, I’m using shaved top sirloin. I get a package of it from Trader Joe’s, but packaged shaved steak is pretty common in most market meat sections. I grew up just south of Seattle, Wa. My “stomping grounds” as you could call it. I spent most of my 20’s around downtown, Pike Place Market, DICK’s Drive-Inn and Pioneer Square. Late nights and LOTS of fun, I’ll leave it at that. Seattle was an amazing adventure for food. Fresh ...

Keto Dinner | Thai Peanut Zucchini Noodles

Thai Peanut Zucchini Noodles are spiralized zoodles sauteed with shredded carrots, bell pepper, and green onions, tossed in this easy peanut sauce. This 15-minute zucchini noodles recipe makes the perfect side dish, main course, or weekday salad and includes meal prep instructions. Using a vegetable peeler can take a little longer, but I LOVE this option for making wide zucchini noodles. This also works in a pinch, but again, I recommend the tabletop version if you want to spiralize large amounts of zucchini noodles into spaghetti strands. During the summer I love eating meals that are lighter, and sometimes I’m just not in the mood for a salad.  These VegetarianThai Peanut Zucchini Noodles are the perfect hot meal that won’t weigh you down! Now that it’s zucchini season, my spiralizer has been working overtime.  Do you own a spiralizer?  I love mine, but I’ll admit that sometimes I get lazy and I buy my zucchini noodles at the store.  It can get costly over time, so...
