Slow Cooker Southwest Chicken Bowls

February 23, 2018 by Rebecca Rosati

These Southwest Chicken Bowls are made in the Crock Pot making it a quick and easy week night meal.  Serve over rice, in tortilla shells, or simply eat on its own. I make this Southwest Chicken when I want a satisfying meal that doesn’t require any cooking on my part. 

Slow Cooker Southwest Chicken Bowls

At the end of a long day, nothing is better than finding a warm meal waiting for you at home. When you make meals in the slow cooker, just pick a recipe, prep it before you head out for the day, and set your machine to low. Dinner will be ready whenever you return. This Slow Cooker Southwest Chicken is comforting, filling, and delicious.

What I love about this Recipe: 

  1. Warm meal waiting for you at home – At the end of a long day, nothing is better than finding a warm meal waiting for you at home.
  2. Set it and Leave it – I love slow cooker meals for busy weeknights, add the ingredients in your crock pot, set on low, and forget about it while it cooks all day.
  3. Great for Meal Prep and Leftovers – This recipe makes a lot and it stores well in the refrigerator. To meal prep, place in microwave safe plastic or glass containers with rice or quinoa and store in refrigerator for up to a week. Just reheat and add toppings when ready to eat.
  4. Budget Friendly – Made with chicken, corn, black beans, and salsa this recipe is healthy, delicious, and makes a lot of food for not a lot of money.

You can top with bell pepper, tomato, avocado, and onion for a serving of veggies. Serve over a whole grain like brown rice or quinoa.
