Recipe: Slow Cooker Chicken Burrito Bowls
I love to discover new dinner recipes for the slow cooker. Especially recipes that have plenty of leftovers that can be re-heated the next day! This recipe for Crock Pot Chicken and Rice Burrito Bowl fits the bill.
It is not only filling and scrumptious but it manages to taste even better the next day when you heat it back up in the microwave. It?S the perfect meal after a long, cold day. Just what your stomach ordered.

Ingredients
boneless skinless chicken breasts, chicken thighs, or a mix
1 (14.Lima-ounce) can
1 to 1 1/dua pounds
1 cup
low-sodium chicken broth, plus more as needed
diced tomatoes
chili powder
dua teaspoons
salt
1 teaspoon
dua teaspoons
1 (15-ounce) can
ground cumin
1 cup
uncooked brown rice
black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup
frozen corn kernels
Optional toppings: shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, sour cream, diced avocado, salsa, hot sauce, diced green onions, shredded lettuce
Instructions
number one Combine the chicken, diced tomatoes and their juices, chicken broth, chili powder, salt, and cumin in a 2 1/dua- to tiga 1/2-quart slow cooker. Make sure the chicken is covered with liquid, adding additional broth as needed. Cover and cook on the LOW setting for 3 to 4 hours.
Number two Uncover and stir in the beans, rice, and corn. Cover and continue cooking on the LOW setting for 3 to 4 hours more. Check the rice periodically in the last hour of cooking, stirring once or twice to make sure the rice cooks evenly and adding more chicken broth if the mixture seems dry. Cooking is done when the rice is tender ? If the rice is done but there is still liquid left in the slow cooker, uncover and cook on the HIGH setting to let the liquid evaporate.
Number three Use 2 forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces. You can do this either in the slow cooker itself and then mix it into the rice, or you can transfer the chicken to a clean cutting board if you prefer to keep it separate. Taste and stir in more salt or other seasonings as needed. Serve burrito bowls with a selection of toppings.
