Slow Cooker Chicken Burrito Bowl Recipes

SLOW COOKER CHICKEN BURRITO BOWL

Steps:

• Place the chicken into the slow cooker and sprinkle a teaspoon of the taco seasoning packet over it. Then add the chicken broth to the bottom of the slow cooker bowl.
• Layer the onions and add HALF the taco seasoning packet over the onions.
• Add the beans, corn, Rotel and the remaining packet of seasonings.
• Add the sliced bell peppers on top of the ingredients. Do not mix in. (If you prefer your bell peppers more crisp then add them the last hour of cooking time.
• Place the lid on the pot and cook on high for 4-5 hours or low for 7-8.
• Half hour before serving, remove the chicken breasts. Using two forks, shred the chicken.
• Add the shredded chicken back to the slow cooker and give everything a good stir. The mixture may look a little watery, but the shredded chicken absorbs a lot of the liquid.
• Cover and cook for 30 minutes.
• Serve over rice. Garnish with sour cream, guacamole, and shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese.

SLOW-COOKER CHICKEN BURRITO BOWLS

Steps:

• Combine the chicken breasts, diced tomatoes, 1/2 cup of chicken stock, chili powder, salt, and cumin in the bowl of a 2 1/2- to 3 1/2-quart slow cooker. Make sure the chicken is covered, and add additional stock if needed. Cover with the lid and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours.
• Remove the lid and add the rice, black beans, frozen corn, and the remaining chicken broth. Replace the lid and continue cooking on low for another 3 to 4 hours. 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 while there is still liquid left in the slow cooker, remove the lid and cook on high to let the liquid evaporate.
• → Total cooking time from start to finish is 6 to 8 hours.
• Use two 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 cutting board if you prefer to keep it separate. Taste the burrito mix and stir in more salt or other seasonings to taste.
• Serve burrito bowls with a selection of toppings. The burrito mixture will keep for 1 week refrigerated or for 3 months in the freezer. This recipe makes about 7 total cups of burrito mix.

Steps:

• Place chicken on a cutting board and chop into bite-sized strips. Place in a crockpot on high.
• Stir in the broth, onion, garlic, jalapenos, corn, salt, pepper, chili powder, cayenne pepper, cumin, lime juice, oregano, and cilantro.
• Simmer on high for 5 hours.
• Remove chicken from crockpot and shred with two forks; and place back into crock pot.
• Place sliced red and green pepper into crock pot, cover and cook another 30 minutes (we still like to have a little crispness to our peppers so if you want them softer cook longer)
• Place equal portions of chicken mixture in the center of the tortillas. Sprinkle with whatever toppings you prefer, such as diced tomatoes, sour cream, lettuce and cheese.
• Fold burrito up 2/3 of the way to the other side over the chicken mixture. Fold sides in towards the center.
