Ground Chicken Taco Skillet

I'm a couple days into the 21 day fix and it's going pretty well. Both of my kids are sick, so I'm having a hard time getting a workout in and going to the gym is a negative...

I've been winging the fix and I can't wait until my Shakeology and containers come!! I spent another couple of hours last night re-redoing the upcoming week's menu. I'm really happy with the changes I've made and the fact that eating the same breakfast and lunch all week will save me a lot of time and stress!

This taco recipe was really great. I love recipes that only use 1 pot or pan. (I think I've mentioned before that I HATE doing dishes!)
The original recipe called for ground beef, but I used ground chicken because I had that on hand. That's another thing we're doing at our house...using up all the many ingredients we have in the pantry and fridge/freezer before buying new products.

I know, DUH, a no-brainer!! Now, let's get to the recipe!




  • 1lb ground chicken (or beef or pork)
  • 2 garlic cloves, grated
  • 1/2 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 15oz can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp chili powder (more or less depending on your taste)
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • Cilantro, for garnish

Brown the ground meet in a large skillet.


Add the remaining ingredients, except the cheese and cilantro. Simmer until vegetables are tender.


Top with the cheese and cilantro. Enjoy plain or serve over rice or in a tortilla!
