Recipe: Slow Cooker Chicken Burrito Bowls
This is my supreme most loved sort of moderate cooker formula — one that takes under five minutes to arrange and afterward remunerates you with a heavenly, sound supper toward the day's end. These burrito bowls are brimming with stew spiced dark colored rice, dark beans, corn, and truly, delicate nibbles of destroyed chicken. Everything gets cooked right in the pot, so you should simply dish yourself a bowl and sprinkle with cheddar.

I as a rule do this formula in two phases. To start with, I get the chicken moving with some juices and diced tomatoes, and afterward I include the rice, beans, and corn halfway through cooking. This guarantees everything gets done with cooking simultaneously and the beans don't get excessively soft. In case I will be away for some time and won't be home to include the rice, I simply keep it separate from the moderate cooker and cook it independently on the stovetop not long before serving. It dirties one more pot, however it gives me some adaptability with my timetable.
The initial not many occasions you make this, give unique consideration to the rice. I like utilizing dark colored rice here in light of the fact that it holds its shape better over longer cooking, however it tends to be somewhat difficult to judge precisely when it will be finished. I utilize an essential supermarket brand of rice and it ordinarily completes the process of cooking in 3 1/2 hours on low right now; brand or assortment you use, I recommend checking it after around 2 1/2 hours to perceive how rapidly it's cooking and in the event that it needs increasingly fluid. (Talking about fluid, you'll get some from the canned tomatoes, so you won't have to include as a lot of juices as you typically would on the off chance that you were cooking the rice without anyone else. All things considered, utilize your best judgment in the event that you think pretty much fluid is required.)
I utilize my little three-quart moderate cooker for this formula. It's sufficiently enormous to fit everything simultaneously and give the rice a lot of space to extend as it cooks. On the off chance that you have a bigger moderate cooker, I'd propose multiplying the formula and freezing half for different suppers.
Probably the best thing about this formula, beside the fact that it is so natural to make, is the manner in which all the flavors and fixings blend during cooking. The chicken cooks in a tomato-rich, cumin-spiked soup, which at that point gets consumed by the rice later on. Each chomp winds up profoundly prepared and fragrant with flavors.
Eat it in a bowl with cuts of avocado and a spot of acrid cream, or move it up in a burrito for lunch. In any case, it's a success. This straightforward moderate cooker feast has more than earned its spot in my normal lineup.
Fixings
1 to 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken bosoms, chicken thighs, or a blend
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 cup low-sodium chicken soup, in addition to additional case by case

Reveal and mix in the beans, rice, and corn. Spread and keep cooking on the LOW setting for 3 to 4 hours more. Check the rice occasionally in the most recent hour of cooking, blending on more than one occasion to ensure the rice cooks uniformly and including progressively chicken stock if the blend appears to be dry. Cooking is done when the rice is delicate — if the rice is done however there is as yet fluid left in the moderate cooker, reveal and cook on the HIGH setting to allow the fluid to vanish.
Utilize 2 forks to shred the chicken into scaled down pieces. You can do this either in the moderate cooker itself and afterward blend it into the rice, or you can move the chicken to a spotless slicing board on the off chance that you want to keep it isolated.
