Chicken Burrito Bowls

It truly doesn’t get any easier than this!  Prep time is all of 5 minutes and it’s hands off until dinner.  Dress it up with your favorite toppings!  Looking for a high protein option?  Simply omit the rice!  Extras are great for leftovers!  Our whole crew was back for seconds.

Serves 6

Ingredients:

28 oz can crushed tomatoes

6-8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 - 4 oz can diced green chiles

1 - 16 oz jar favorite salsa

Kosher salt

Black pepper

To Serve:

3 cups cooked rice (I like our coconut lime rice recipe)

1 - 15 oz can black or pinto beans, warmed 

Lettuce, diced or shredded 

Tomatoes, diced

Limes, quartered 

Shredded cheese or cotija  

Avocado, quartered or avocado cream 

Directions: 

Add crushed tomatoes to crockpot.  Top with chicken breasts.  Generously season chicken with salt and pepper.  Pour diced chiles and salsa over top.  Cover and cook on low heat for 6 hours.

When done cooking, remove chicken from crockpot with tongs.  Using two forks, gently shred.  Return to crockpot and cover to keep warm.

Prepare rice and heat beans.

Set up toppings assembly line style so everyone can prepare their own burrito bowl.  Squeeze fresh lime over top.
