Naked Chicken Taco with Spicy Cilantro Crema
Having a taco with a chicken filet instead of a shell is probably blasphemy in some groups, but Naked Chicken Tacos, are actually pretty darn good! Turning the monotony of a pre-cooked diet meal into something you wouldnโt even know is good for you!
Iโm all about wrapped up with my Personal Trainer Food this year, and Iโve lost a good amount of weight โ Iโm not even sure how much because I havenโt checked, but the photos Iโve been taking (Iโll share next week) definitely show a difference!
Towards the end of the month, Iโve got to admit itโs been tough staying with it. Whatโs really helped me is getting creative with my meals. Their spicy chicken filets are amazing, and a great candidate for turning them into something special.
Whether youโre eating this Naked Chicken Taco open-faced, with a fork and a knife, or folding it up and eating, its delicious either way. And donโt skimp on the spicy cilantro crema. Itโs a little concoction I came up with based off of my favorite Peruvian restaurant, that is super addicting!
I quick blend of lettuce, mayo, lime juice, serrano pepper, garlic, shallots and cumin. Takes 5 minutes to put together and you can keep it in the fridge and pour over all your favorite Personal Trainer food entrees! Screw it โ over EVERYTHING
You are more than welcome to use any thin pre-cooked chicken patty you want โ but if youโre on the Personal Trainer Food RECON program like me, this is definitely something I recommend trying out! Super quick to prep and easy to take with you!
Thanks to Personal Trainer Food for supplying the food for this recipe and my weight loss journey! All opinions are my own!

Big yum, Derek. This reminds me of the Mexican dish called a Milanesa that I donโt ever see in the U.S. I love this idea for a quick supper, especially with that cilantro crema!
I love the idea of naked tacos and with that spicy coriander crema I bet itโs delicious. Thanks for sharing ๐
What a cool idea! Itโs like the healthy version of the Taco Bell Naked Taco (which I actually enjoyed)!
Why not use chicken for a wrap?! That โs a fun and innovative idea, especially for those carnivores out there! Yummy!
I generally add cilantro in all my cooking, my hubbys says i dont know ocoking without it. i can imagine the flavour of this chicken. spicy touch makes it perfect
Yumโฆwhat a great way to eat that juicy chicken. The crema would be a great additionโฆ.but I am one of those people that donโt like cilantroโฆbut it sounds delicious.
What a great idea! I love that it takes no time at all to make โ a great snack for my hungry teenagers!
Any taco is A-OK in my book. I could really eat them all day. . .but I do try to keep my carbs under control (well. . .most days) so Iโm loving this idea of using spicy chicken in lieu of a more carb-y shell. As for the lime crema. . .you can drizzle all that yumminess on everything that crosses your path. ๐
