When it comes to those quick dinner options or any meal, taking the time to meal prep makes it a whole lot easier.

What is even better is when you plan your meals to where you have leftovers for the next day. Batch cooking is one of the best ways to stay on top of those weekly meals, and even eat healthier.
Crock Pot dinners are normally pretty easy. All you need to do is toss it into the Crock Pot, set the heat setting and timer, and walk away.

The options are endless with this Crock Pot Hatch Chile Chicken.
Crock Pot Hatch Chile Chicken for Lunch and Dinner.
This recipe allows for many options. You can eat this shredded chicken on bread, in a salad, wrapped up as a burrito, and even eat it as a street taco. For today, I am going to go with the wrapped version. The wrapped version is GREAT for lunches. You can cook this chicken on Sunday, eat it Sunday night, then divide it up for those weekly lunches. For this wrap, I opted to have the chicken with cooked brown rice and sauteed squash and zucchini. You can even omit the flour tortilla and eat the chicken with just the rice and veggies.
Y’all, this really is so good! See the recipe for yourself! I have also included the links to these ingredients that can be added to your Walmart grocery order. Hopefully this will make it easier for prepping ahead of time for this Crock Pot Hatch Chile Chicken.
