Grilled Chicken Taco Boats

The second week of the Publix Flavor Excursion sale started up today. I know you guys enjoyed stocking up on some great deals last week and there are so many more to grab this week too! I love being able to get so many great ingredients that make meal prep not only easy but also super affordable—my favorite combination!

The best thing about this promotion is that it helps us shake off the boring. You know you get into a rut when it comes to mealtime. We all go for what we know – basically we make things that are safe and easy. I get it…I have picky boys so I totally understand! Sometimes you have to take that leap and try new recipes. I always tell my boys that trying new things is the only way to find a NEW favorite thing!

The Flavor Excursion promotion give us that chance to find that new favorite thing! Today I am going to share another great recipe that I think you guys will love. Plus, you can also visit the Flavor Excursion page to discover more fun recipes that your whole family will enjoy! You are sure to find something that even the pickiest person will like!

Today’s recipe is Grilled Chicken Taco Boats. This recipe is very simple to make. It’s great because it’s easily customized so that each person can add whatever they like. My husband and I tag teamed and I prepped the taco filling while he grilled the chicken. Dinner was done in a flash!

With the sales and coupons, this recipe is very budget friendly too! Be on the lookout for the in-store display where you’ll find the following coupons. They’ll help you put together this meal (and many of the other recipes on the Flavor Excursion site) at a fantastic price!
