High Protein Crockpot Chicken and Rice (60g Protein, Only 5 Ingredients)
Growing up, this was my grandma and auntie’s specialty. Chicken over rice, on repeat, every week. Now that I’m focused on hitting my protein goals, I make this same recipe as an adult — and it turns out it was basically a macro-friendly meal all along. About 60g of protein per serving, barely any hands-on prep, and it tastes like home.
If you’re looking for an easy high protein dinner idea that doesn’t feel like “diet food,” this is it. Everything goes into the crockpot raw — no boiling, no pre-cooking, no babysitting the stove.
