I’ve kind of gotten into a habit of making shredded chicken and just smothering it in enchilada sauce with some low carb cheese chips on the side.

Sometimes you just don’t have time for a fancy dinner and just need to make do with what you’ve got. I love making and shredding our chicken in bulk for meal-preps so when we’ve got zero time for dinner that night something quick with all the necessary nutrition we need.
