This simple, quick, & low calorie meal prep recipe is packed with vegetables, complex carbs, & over 30 grams of protein. I promise you won’t know which pieces are chayote and which are potatoes when you’re enjoying this recipe!
1. Roast 1/4 of the onion, tomatillos, poblano pepper, and 3 garlic cloves using your preferred method. (Air fry for 10 minutes at 375 F)
2. Let the poblano “sweat” for 10-15 minutes in the air fryer or in a bag.
3. Add the roasted vegetables to a blender with cilantro and seasonings to taste (chicken bouillon) and 1/2 cup water.
4. Chop and peel the remaining vegetables and chicken into 1 inch cubes.
5. Grease a pan with avocado oil spray and add the chicken. Cook for 4-6 minutes and season with salt, pepper, and 2 minced garlic cloves.
6. Add in the sliced onions and cook for 2 minutes.
7. Add in the potatoes, chayote squash, and salsa. Mix well.
8. Cover and cook for 20 minutes or until the chayote and potato are both fork tender.
