Cooking Instructions

  • Combine the chicken, diced tomatoes and their juices, chicken broth, chili powder, salt, and cumin in a slow cooker. Ensure chicken is covered with liquid, adding more broth as needed. Cover and cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours.
  • Uncover and stir in the beans, rice, and corn. Cover and continue cooking on LOW for 3 to 4 hours more. Check rice periodically, stirring once or twice and adding more broth if necessary. Cooking is done when rice is tender.
  • Use 2 forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Mix it into the rice or keep it separate on a cutting board. Adjust seasonings as needed. Serve burrito bowls with a selection of toppings.
