Cilantro Lime Chicken Bowl

Ok everyone... this is AMAZING!

I was tired of my regular lunch of quinoa or rice with roasted veggies and chicken breast and decided to kick it up a notch!

I got the recipe from the Tasty App, you know those videos you see floating around facebook or IG.
I adapted it to fit the portion fox system!

I am eating in Plan E for 80 Day Obsession which is my maintenance category as I am breastfeeding as well. For my lunch time meal I use Meal option 2-- 2 veggies, 1 protein, 1 healthy carb, 1 fruit, 1 tsp, and 1 healthy fat.
