Instructions
Creating the Slow Cooker Chicken Burrito Bowl is as easy as following these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray or olive oil.
2. Add Chicken: Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker.
3. Combine Vegetables: In a separate bowl, mix the corn, black beans, diced tomatoes, bell peppers, and onion. Spoon this mixture over the chicken.
4. Season: Sprinkle the garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper evenly over the food in the slow cooker.
5. Add Broth: Pour the chicken broth over the entire mixture. This will help keep the chicken moist throughout the cooking process.
6. Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook for 6-8 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high.
7. Shred Chicken: Once the cooking time is complete, remove the chicken breasts using a fork or tongs. Shred the meat with two forks and return it to the slow cooker, mixing it in with the other ingredients.
8. Serve Over Rice or Quinoa: Prepare rice or quinoa according to package instructions. Spoon the chicken and veggie mixture over cooked rice or quinoa in bowls.
9. Add Toppings: Personalize your bowl with optional toppings like avocado, cilantro, cheese, sour cream, and lime wedges for extra flavor.
These steps will guide you in preparing a delightful and wholesome Slow Cooker Chicken Burrito Bowl with ease.
