The struggle is real when it comes to whipping healthy dinners in our house. My husband and I are usually super busy during the day that by the time we both get home at night it’s pushing 9pm and the last thing we want to do is slave over the hot stove to cook dinner. Our only saving grace has been cooking up a large crockpot meal on Sundays so that we have endless protein to work with for the entire week. Once the protein has been cooked, all you have to do is come up with different ways to prepare it each time you want a meal.

With limited time on my hands, trying to stay healthy and within my macro numbers while on the #52DayShred, I came up with this Honey Siracha Chicken recipe and it has been a total winner in our house! Since the chicken is slow cooked, it has all the time in the world to soak in the delicious flavors and you would have no idea by the taste that this recipe is actually good for you! I need a little kick of SPICE or FLAVOR in my food so I don’t feel like I am being deprived. When I cook, things can’t be boring or bland or I will never eat it. So I came up with three ways to prepare the chicken so that I felt like each time I sat down to have a meal, I was having a real treat! Regardless what diet you are following, you should still be able to enjoy your food!

With a little pre-planning, you set yourself up for an entire week of success! Order your groceries from Peapod on Friday, have them delivered to your door on Saturday and get to cooking on Sunday! Which means less dining out, less cheat meals, and a whole lot of more time to enjoy your friends and family during your free time!
