Ingredients

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 Slow Cooker Chicken: Add the chicken breasts, chunky salsa, BRIANNAS Cilantro Lime Dressing, chicken broth, chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika to your slow cooker. Set it on high and cook for 4 hours until the chicken is tender and easily shreds.
  2. Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, shred the chicken using two forks or hands, making sure the pieces are well separated. Let it sit in the slow cooker for another 10 minutes to absorb flavors. Taste and add salt if necessary.
  3. Prepare Bowl Ingredients: Cook the rice according to package instructions. Heat the frozen sweet corn and canned black beans in the microwave until warm. Chop the cilantro, dice the avocados, and cut the lime into wedges.
  4. Assemble Burrito Bowls: To each bowl, add a base of cooked rice, then top with shredded chicken, warm corn, and black beans. Add diced avocados on top.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the bowls, add lime wedges on the side for squeezing, and drizzle additional BRIANNAS Cilantro Lime Dressing over each bowl. Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh, hearty meal.

Notes

  • Use low sodium black beans to control the salt content of the dish.
  • Brianna’s Cilantro Lime Dressing adds a tangy brightness but can be substituted with any cilantro lime vinaigrette or freshly made lime dressing.
  • If short on time, the chicken can also be cooked on low for 6-7 hours instead of high for 4 hours.
  • You can serve this dish as a bowl or use the ingredients to make burritos or tacos.
