Description

These slow cooker chicken burrito bowls are healthy, easy, clean, and include a delicious cauliflower rice.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CHICKEN:
  • 1 pound Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs
  • 1 pound Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 1 whole Yellow Onion, Diced
  • 14-½ ounces, weight Canned Diced Tomatoes
  • 8 ounces, weight Canned Tomato Sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Dried Oregano
  • 2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • ½ teaspoons Chili Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Garlic Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Paprika
  • ¼ teaspoons Cayenne
  • FOR SERVING:
  • 15 ounces, weight Canned Black Beans, Drained
  • 2 whole Tomatoes, Diced
  • 2 whole Avocados, Diced
  • FOR THE CAULIFLOWER RICE:
  • 1 whole Large Head Cauliflower
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1-½ teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Ground Black Pepper
  • ½ teaspoons Garlic Powder

Preparation

For the chicken:
Combine everything except beans in the bowl of a slow cooker. Cover and cook on low setting for 4–6 hours or on high for 2–3 hours. Chicken is ready when can easily be pulled apart.

When tender, remove chicken from slow cooker and shred into bite-size pieces using your fingers or two forks.

In a medium bowl, combine drained beans and enough of the juices from the slow cooker (besides the chicken). This will heat up and flavor the beans for serving. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and mix with remaining juices.

For the cauliflower rice:
There are two ways to turn the cauliflower into rice-size pieces: (1) using a kitchen grater on the larger holes or (2) in a food processor. (The food processor makes this way quick and easy so I recommend it if you have one). If using a grater, keep the cauliflower whole and grate as you would cheese. If using a processor, break the cauliflower into florets – it may be necessary to do this in 2-3 batches.

Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower “rice” and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower rice is tender and just slightly golden brown, about 7–10 minutes.
Mix salt, pepper, and garlic powder into the cauliflower rice and stir to combine.

To serve, add the cauliflower rice to a bowl, followed by the shredded chicken, black beans, avocado, diced tomatoes. Top with additional desired toppings, such as a dollop of Greek yogurt.

Note: You can substitute cauliflower rice for brown or white rice, if desired.

This was a super tasty dish for our low carb diet. I was really curious how the cauliflower “rice” would turn out. It was great! I didn’t miss actual rice at all. I will probably use that frequently in place of rice in other dishes. This is definitely a ‘make again’ recipe.
