High-Protein Sweet & Spicy Chicken Recipe
Ingredients: 2 lbs chicken breast, 1 red onion, 2 jalapeño peppers, 1 bunch of cilantro, 15 oz rinsed chunk pineapple, 1 cup rice, 1 container of G Hughes sweet chili sauce.

Then in a crockpot, add your chicken breast along with 2 tablespoons of garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of onion powder, 2 teaspoons of black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Then add the diced veggies into the crockpot. Next, add your pineapple and cilantro. Allow this to cook on high for four hours or on low for six.
For the carbs, add 1 cup of rice with two cups of water. Once the water comes to a boil, let it simmer on low for about 10 minutes.
After your chicken is done, go ahead and shred it and finish it off with the sweet chili sauce.
You can place the chicken and rice in meal prep containers for a healthy and convenient lunch or dinner.
