Crockpot taco chicken bowls

One of my January goals was to make a new recipe. {Actually, who am I kidding? That’s been on my list every month.} There were several that I noticed throughout the course of the month, but this one jumped out at me because (1) it’s super easy to make and (2) I had all the ingredients on hand. #score

Those are my top two criteria in a recipe, btw. {Quite possibly my only two.}

Ingredients

4 chicken breasts {frozen}
1 jar salsa {16 oz}
1 can black beans
1 can fiesta corn
1 or 2 packets taco seasoning

2 cups rice
shredded cheddar cheese
chips

Instructions
1. Add chicken, salsa, black beans, fiesta corn and taco seasoning to crockpot.
2. Cook for 8-10 hours on low.
3. In the last 20 minutes of crockpot cook time, cook rice according to directions on package.
4. Shred chicken with two forks and stir all ingredients together.

Serve chicken mixture over rice. Garnish with shredded cheese and chips.

That’s it. It’s that easy. Obviously, we’re into taco-themed dinners {hello, taco soup!} around here so it was great to have everything on hand.

I found this recipe here and it’s pinned on my Pinterest board board but I simplified it just a little. #becausethatshowiroll

Speaking of how I roll, you like how it’s called “crockpot taco chicken bowls” and I served it on plates? Well, I don’t have any of those really cool giant bowls. You know, the ones that are perfect for pasta. And taco chicken bowls. Yep, need to find some of those. Until then… most meals up in here will be served on plates.

What are some of your go-to crockpot recipes? I’m always looking for new!

And don’t forget about The Mint Julep Boutique giveaway I announced yesterday.

I mean, how cute is that top? You could get your own! Or something even cuter.

Did you put the chicken in the crockpot when it was still frozen? And how did you feel the chicken tasted? I feel like chicken usually dries out in crockpot recipes…but maybe that’s just the ones I’ve tried!

  Hey Cassie! I always do frozen chicken in the crockpot because it’s so easy and it doesn’t seem to dry out for me. This recipe actually seemed really liquid-y. Not that it was too much but it was the opposite of dried out. I also do a lot of recipes on the “keep warm” setting on my crockpot when it’s all day long. Maybe that helps with the drying out?

This has been one of my favorite crock pot recipes to make too! It’s definitely easy and I love that you can really change up the flavors depending on what type of salsa you use!
- Claire
  
  Ooooh, that’s so true. I didn’t think about that because I just dumped the salsa that I had on hand. Every time I try a new recipe, I ask David if it’s one worth repeating. He immediately said yes on this one!

Crockpot recipes are the best! I love coming home to dinner already made! This sounds delicious!

  Right? It also makes me feel really productive in the mornings! It was really good… even as leftovers.

Cassie – not sure if you’ll see this, but I ALWAYS put frozen chicken in my crock pot (for anywhere from 4-8 hours) and it is always perfect! No fear with frozen chicken! And if I just want to use the chicken for chicken salad, I add a can of chicken broth and a dash of pepper for fun.
Claire – Recipe looks amazing! I love how you can use the same 5-10 ingredients but prepare the meal so many different ways! Yummy! Now I want crockpot chicken taco bowls!
- Claire
  
  That really is exactly what I do, Megan. Who has time for anything else? Not people who work, coach, are in grad school and blog!
