    Tex-Mex Chicken and Veggies

    One skillet is all you need for this Tex Mex chicken and veggies! Juicy chicken thighs packed with veggies and perfectly seasoned...this dinner with a kick is just what you need to spice things up in the kitchen and still keep on track!

    Meal prep recipes like this with all the veggies are my absolute favorite!  The keep me full for hours and they are so easy to make.  As soon as I am finished cooking, I divide the recipe into meal prep containers and I am all set for lunch for 6 days!

    Are chicken thighs or chicken breast better?

    I personally love boneless skinless chicken thighs over chicken breast any day.  They are juicy, so much more flavorful and they are not many more calories per serving!  You really will not regret using the chicken thighs in your skillet meals from now on.

    Is this recipe keto?

    The recipe is packed with non-starchy veggies so it is 7 net carbs per serving.  That personally fits into my keto macros but I totally understand if it doesn't fit into yours.  Veggies are so filling so I am more than okay with allocating some a portion of my carbs to them!
