Chicken Taco Bowls

I was looking for a simple recipe since I hadn't gone to the store yet b/c we had tons going on this past week. Thanks to Budget Bytes, I was able to throw all together.

Kyle really liked the flavor and said if I had added more tomato juice or broth, it would make for a really good soup.

I took the finished product before it was actually finished. I didn't get the picture with all the fresh cilantro and shredded cheese all on top.


Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs. chicken breasts (I threw mine in frozen)
1 (16 oz) jar salsa
1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained
8 oz. frozen corn (I used canned corn)
1 Tbsp. chili powder
1/2 Tbsp. cumin
1/2 Tbsp. minced garlic
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
salt and pepper
2 cups dry rice
8 oz. shredded cheese
1/2 bunch chopped cilantro

What To Do:
  • Add everything except the rice, cheese and cilantro into your crock pot along with 1/4 cup of water
  • Stir everything and make sure the chicken is covered
  • Place the lid on the crock pot and cook on low for 8 hours
  • Before you get ready to eat, cook your rice according to the directions
  • Remove the lid from the crock pot and stir with a fork to shred. Yes, it will shred with just a fork. No need to take the chicken out to shred and then put back in the crock pot.
  • Build your taco bowls by placing rice on the bottom, chicken mixture on top, and then top with cheese and cilantro (Again, sorry I forgot to take a picture with my cheese and cilantro on top)
