Healthy Slow Cooker Chicken Burrito Bowls Recipe

I’m currently on a quest to make more summer friendly slow cooker meals. I realize we think of cooking things low and slow in winter, but summer is busy and the slow cooker is the ultimate busy person’s kitchen tool. Healthy Slow Cooker Chicken Burrito Bowls have all the flavor of your favorite fresh mex restaurant.  They are perfect for busy summer nights.

Slow Cooker Chicken For Burrito Bowls

The trick with this recipe is in using the salsa. Chicken breasts can easily dry out in the slow cooker, so it’s important to provide moisture, and not to leave it in there too long. Depending on the thickness of your chicken breasts, they will be done in 4 hours on low.

You’ll want to check them with a fork. If they shred easily, then you’re good to go. My slow cooker can be set for a certain amount of time and then it turns to warm when the timer goes off. This is one of those recipes where I’d set the time if I’m going to be away.

Here’s my slow cooker. I really love it. It has all the functionality I need and it travels well!
