But lately I've gotten really sick of this process and I think Stew has been a little bored with the meals, so this past Sunday I decided to try something different. In the crock pot I combined five frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts with two packages of McCormick's dry fajita seasoning mix and a half cup of water. After about 3.5 hours on high the chicken was fully cooked with a nice sauce in the bottom. In the meantime I sliced up a four bell peppers and an onion which I cooked separately on the stove. Then in tupperware I started with brown rice in the bottom topped with the chicken which I took out and cut up first, followed by some peppers and onions and finally I topped it with some of the leftover sauce. VoilĂ ! Stew's lunches for the week... done.
For myself I made up some smaller containers without the rice and I had one for dinner on Tuesday night. For fresh toppings I added avocado, tomato, cilantro and a little bit of low fat Ranch dressing. It was delicious! So nice and easy to just pull out of the fridge and heat up, and such a nice change from what we've been eating lately.

I definitely tend to cook the same thing over and over, too. This sounds delicious! I might just have to try it out sometime soon. I love using the crockpot because it makes the apartment smell so good.
