There’s nothing better than a long, exhausting day of parenting/ homeschooling/ existing, than knowing that you set this up in the morning and all you have to do is add rice and VOILA! A delicious hot filling meal that everyone loves!
Ingredients:
- 1.5-2 Pounds of Raw Chicken Breast- boneless/skinless
- 1 Large Onion- chopped
- 1 Large Bell Pepper (any color)- chopped
- 1 Can of Petite Diced Tomatoes
- 1 Can of Tomatoes and Green Chilies (Ro-Tel)
- 1 Cup of Broth (plus more just in case your rice needs it later)
- 2 tsp Chili Powder
- 2.5 tsp Salt
- 2.5 tsp Ground Cumin
- 1 (15 oz) Can of Beans (black beans, kidney beans, etc)
- 2/3 Cup Rice- uncooked
- 1 Cup Frozen Corn
- OPTIONAL TOPPINGS- Queso, Avocado/Guacamole, Greek Yogurt, Shredded Cheese, Salsa, Hot Sauce.
* See notes at the bottom for ingredient alternatives and other ideas!
Instructions:
1- Gather all ingredients and prepare them as needed.
2- Set your crockpot to 6 hours on high. Use a crockpot liner if you want (I DO!)
3- Add the chicken on the bottom and spread it out as best as you can. Dump all the other ingredients on top (EXCEPT FOR THE BEANS AND RICE- Save those for later). Go about your day, but set an alarm for 2-3 hours before you want to eat- it takes 2-3 hours to cook the rice and you can add the beans at the same time. Make sure you have enough liquid in the crockpot. Usually I don’t have to add more but you never know.
4- Serve in a bowl (or on a tortilla) with tons of toppings! YUM!
NOTES:
If you forget to add your rice, that’s fine. Cook it separately and combine it later.
