Cooking Instructions

  • Place chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker. Cover with cumin, chili powder, red pepper, sea salt and pepper. Add green chile, onion, garlic, tomatoes, and black beans. Stir the ingredients on top of the chicken to mix evenly. Cover and cook.
  • Allow to cook for about 4-6 hours low or until an internal temperature reaches 165°F in the thickest part of the chicken.
  • Either remove the chicken and shred on a cutting board, or shred with two forks in the crock pot. Stir the chicken back in and set to warm until ready to serve.
  • Prep all of the desired bowl ingredients and then add mixture from crock pot to each bowl and top with your favorite ingredients!
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

Set up a burrito bowl bar for the crowd. These make great chicken tacos as well as a great taco salad. To store leftover chicken, put in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator. You can also freeze in a freezer safe container for about 3 months, thawing in the refrigerator before serving.
