Slow Cooker Sante Fe Chicken Rice Bowls


YUM! I love this recipe. I found it on skinny taste, but it was ending up a little too watery for me. I was planning on serving it with rice anyway, so I decided to just include the rice and make rice bowls. It was very flavorful, cheap, and best of all, EASY. Plus, it's healthy. Yay, yay, yay! Try it. For real.

24 oz boneless, skinless, chicken breast, or 3 frozen breast halves
2 cups chicken broth
1 can black beans
1 can Diced tomatoes and green chiles
1 10oz package frozen corn
3 large scallions, sliced
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tbsp dried cilantro (the store was OUT of fresh...lame. Oh well.)
3 cups raw long grain white rice

Combine all ingredients in slow cooker except rice. Cook on high for 6-8 hours. Shred chicken (it should easily fall apart). Add rice to slow cooker and allow rice to cook until it is soft and most of the liquid is soaked up. Serve alone or with low fat sour cream, chives, tortilla chips, etc. Whatever fits your fancy and daily calories. YUM!
