MEXICAN MEALS FOR WEIGHT LOSS: POLLO Y RAJAS CON CREMA
20 mins prepServes 4
Rajas con crema was a meal I thought was reserved for “cheat meals” but with this recipe I can eat it everyday. My rajas recipe packs over 40 grams of protein! You can serve with a side of choice or make them into tacos like I did.
1. Wash and dry 2 poblano peppers. Roast using your preferred method. I air fry at 400° F for 10 minutes.
2. Place in a bag (or leave in air fryer) for 10-15 minutes before peeling and removing the seeds.
3. Slice the 2 poblano peppers and onion. Cube the chicken.
4. In a bowl mix Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, jalapeño mustard, and almond milk.
5. Spray oil to a pan and add chicken with salt and pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes.
6. Add the onions and cook for 3 minutes.
7. Add corn and cook for additional 4 minutes.
8. Add sliced poblano peppers. Mix well, bring heat down to lowest setting, & cook for additional 5 minutes.
9. Add in the crema. Cook for 5 minutes.
10. Add in cheese, turn off the heat, and mix well.
11. Divide into 4 servings. Each serving is ~1.5 cup of chicken mixture. You can serve with white rice, vegetables, or make tacos with low calorie tortillas.
