How to Make Slow Cooker Chicken Burrito Bowls

  1. Place 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a 2.5-3.5 quart slow cooker.
  2. Add 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1/2 cup chicken broth, 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon cumin to the slow cooker.
  3. Ensure chicken is mostly submerged in liquid; add more broth if necessary.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours, or until chicken is cooked through.
  5. Stir in 1 cup long-grain rice, 1 (15 oz) can black beans (rinsed and drained), 1 cup frozen corn, and 1/2 cup chicken broth.
  6. Cover and cook on low for another 3-4 hours, or until rice is tender. Stir gently once or twice during the last hour to prevent sticking and add more broth if needed.
  7. If rice is cooked but there is excess liquid, remove the lid and cook on high for 15-20 minutes to allow the liquid to evaporate.
  8. Use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker. Stir to combine with rice and other ingredients.
  9. Season with additional salt or spices to taste.
  10. Serve immediately in bowls with your favorite toppings (suggestions below).
  11. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 3 months.
