Description

A comforting and flavorful Slow Cooker Chicken Burrito Bowl with tender chicken, fluffy rice, zesty salsa, and fresh toppings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 ripe avocados, sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • Cilantro lime vinaigrette, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker. Pour the salsa over the chicken, coating each piece.
  2. Set your slow cooker to low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is fork-tender.
  3. About an hour before serving, add the rice to the slow cooker.
  4. Once cooked, gently shred the chicken in the slow cooker and stir everything together.
  5. Serve the mixture in bowls, topping with avocado slices, fresh cilantro, cheese, and black beans.
  6. Drizzle with cilantro lime vinaigrette before serving.

Notes

Add a sprinkle of smoked paprika for extra flavor. Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to three days, or freeze for up to three months.
