Cost $16
Ingredients
- 2-3 lbs Simply Nature Organic Thin Sliced Chicken Breasts
- 1 jar 24oz Simply Nature Organic Salsa (Mild or Medium)
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 2 cups Organic White Rice dry
- Optional Toppings: Sour cream, avocado, cilantro, cheddar cheese
Instructions
- The Rice: Add 2 cups of rice and appropriate water (or chicken broth) to your rice cooker. This takes less than 3 minutes to prep and stays warm for over 24 hours, so you can start it whenever it fits your schedule!
- Dump: Place chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Pour the entire jar of salsa over the top. Add cumin and garlic powder.
- Cook: Cover and cook on High for 4 hours or Low for 6-8 hours until chicken shreds easily. Note for Thin-Sliced Chicken: Check if done earlier (around 2.5 hours on High or 4 hours on Low) as they cook much faster and can dry out.
- Shred: Shred the chicken directly in the pot using two forks.
- Serve & Store: Serve half the chicken over rice bowls with toppings. Save the other half of the chicken for Monday! Allow the leftovers to cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
