Ingredients

Scale

Slow Cooker Mexican Chicken

  • 2–2.5 lbs skinless boneless chicken breast
  • 16 oz chunky salsa
  • 1/3 cup BRIANNAS Cilantro Lime Dressing + more as drizzle
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Other Ingredients for the Bowl

  • 4 cups cooked rice
  • 2 cups frozen sweet corn
  • 1 (16 oz) canned black beans, low sodium
  • 3 small avocados
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 lime

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Add all the Slow Cooker Mexican Chicken ingredients to the slow cooker. Set it on high and cook for 4 hours.
  2. Shred the Chicken: After cooking, shred the chicken with forks; it should come apart easily. Allow the shredded chicken to cook/sit in the slow cooker for an additional 10 minutes. Taste and optionally add salt if needed.
  3. Prepare the Sides: While the chicken finishes, cook the rice as per your preferred method. Heat the frozen corn and canned black beans in the microwave until warm. Chop the cilantro, dice the avocados, and cut the lime into wedges.
  4. Assemble the Burrito Bowls: In bowls, layer cooked rice, shredded chicken, heated corn, black beans, and diced avocado. Garnish with chopped cilantro and lime wedges.
  5. Dress and Serve: Drizzle additional BRIANNAS Cilantro Lime Dressing over the assembled bowls. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can adjust the salt at the end based on your taste preference since the salsa and broth provide some seasoning.
  • For a quicker meal prep, use pre-cooked rice or brown rice according to preference.
  • The dressing adds fresh zesty notes; substitute with another cilantro lime dressing if unavailable.
  • Feel free to add other toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or jalapeños for extra flavor.
