Instructions
Creating a Slow Cooker Chicken Burrito Bowl is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Spray the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. Add Chicken: Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker.
3. Layer the Veggies: Add the black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper over the chicken.
4. Season: Sprinkle the minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper over the layers.
5. Pour in Broth: Gently pour the chicken broth around the ingredients (do not pour directly on the chicken).
6. Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
7. Shred Chicken: About 30 minutes before serving, shred the chicken using two forks in the slow cooker and stir everything together.
8. Serve: Once everything is cooked, serve over cooked rice or quinoa in bowls, and add your favorite toppings.
