Slow Cooker Chicken Burrito Bowls
Serves: 6-8
Cook Time: 8 Hrs
This burrito bowl recipe takes less than five minutes to put together and you end up with a yummy, healthy dinner at the end of your day. The burrito bowls contain chili-spiced brown rice, black beans, corn, and tender bites of shredded chicken.
Everything gets cooked right in the slow cooker. All you need to do is scoop some up in a bowl and sprinkle it with cheese.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 to 1 1/2 pounds of boneless skinless chicken
- 1 can of diced tomatoes
- 1 can of black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup of uncooked brown rice
- 1 cup of frozen corn kernels
- 1 cup of low-sodium chicken broth, plus more as needed
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, diced green onions, shredded lettuce, chopped cilantro, avocado, salsa, and hot sauce.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Combine the chicken, diced tomatoes, broth, chili powder, salt, and cumin in a 2 1/2- to 3 1/2-quart slow cooker. Ensure that the chicken is fully covered with the liquid, adding additional broth if needed. Cover the pot and cook on its LOW setting for about 3 to 4 hours.
- Uncover and stir in the rice, beans, and corn. Cover up the pot again and continue cooking on LOW for another 3 to 4 hours. Check the rice occasionally in the last hour of cooking, stirring once or twice to ensure the rice cooks evenly, and add more broth if the mixture seems to be dry. Your meal is done when the rice is tender. If your rice has finished cooking, but there’s still liquid left in the pot, uncover it and cook on the higher setting to let the liquid evaporate.
- Using 2 forks, shred the chicken into small-sized pieces. Salt and season to taste as needed. Serve this yummy meal in burrito bowls with your selection of toppings.

This looks like a great recipe. I wish there was a way I could print it out, just this one.
just WRITE it down like I did……DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was taught that if you didn’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. Someone has a question a legit question, and all you can say is duh. I would much rather print it and put it with my recipes and have to write it all down much cleaner
Agreed, no need to be rude. I find it much easier to print out myself. My handwriting is getting worse as I age.
I just did. Highlight recipe, hit copy and then paste into email to yourself.
Then print your email and there you have it. I had to do picture separately but do the
same way. Love pot roasts and so filling.
I take photos of only the recipes I want then print those out. If you are able to rearrange the recipes to take out ads and extraneous parts, then copy the photos and delete parts you don’t want on an iPad’s Pages.
Hi Janet. I’m on my cell phone and I can copy/paste the recipe. Try it! You can then paste it into your email or into a word doc and save it wherever you want or print it too. Hope this helps
Try touching the 3 lines on the lower right of the page, a group of icons will appear to allow you to SHARE….
Then you should be able to send yourself a rext message link with only that page so you can print out that one recipe. That’s what worked for me.
Try doing Ctrl P on your computer keyboard and see if you can print from that. Just a thought.
Roni here. I, too, hate when I can’t copy these recipes. I did finally manage the burito bowl one. What I did was highlight the printing I wanted copied. To the right of my screen, a listing came up and I clicked on ‘print’. Then to the left of the screen appeared the actual description of how I would want it to print. 8X11, etc, single page, back to back, etc and I clicked ‘single sheet’ and at the bottom of the screen in a big square, I then clicked “print”. The only thing that happened that I didn’t like was # 3 of the directions was omitted. I just had to write 2 sentences about shredding chicken and I was done. I wish I knew the entire answer of why they show these things and don’t allow the printing to take place. ?? Hope this was helpful.
You can print it. Just go to the 3 little dots at the top right hand corner of laptop. Select Print. Choose the pages you want to print. There you go. Add to your recipes. 🙂
write it down w/pen OR pencil like I did!
