Ingredients

Slow Cooker Chicken Burrito Bowls

  • 2 pounds chicken breasts
  • 1 14-ounce can Rotel tomatoes
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup long grain white rice
  • 1 14-ounce can black beans
  • 1 cup corn frozen, fresh or canned

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup salsa
  • 1 whole avocado sliced
  • 3 medium green onions sliced thin

Instructions

  • Place chicken breasts, Rotel tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper in a slow cooker, mix lightly, and cover with a lid.
  • Cook on low for 2-3 hours, then add the chicken stock, rice, beans, and corn and stir, making sure the rice is covered in the broth mixture. Cover again and cook for 2 more hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender.
  • Remove the chicken and cut into 3/4" pieces. Add back into the slow cooker and mix together.
  • To serve, ladle some of the chicken, beans, and rice into each individual bowl. Serve with shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, sliced avocado and green onions if desired. Enjoy!
