How to Make Chicken Burrito Bowls

Rub the boneless skinless chicken breasts with olive oil and place them in the bottom of your slow cooker. Feel free to use chicken thighs as well. Add the salsa, brown sugars, green chilies, tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, oregano, adobo sauce, salt, and pepper to the crock pot. Prepare a batch of our easy Mexican Rice.   Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add onion and saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the white rice and cook until golden brown. When rice is golden brown, add the stock, tomato sauce, salt, garlic, cumin, and pepper to the pan. Stir and cover the pan. Let simmer for 25 to 30 minutes. Until rice is cooked through. Salt and pepper to taste. Or try it with our Cilantro Lime Rice Recipe! Prep all the other toppings. To make the sour cream sauce: mix sour cream, lime, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside. To assemble the bowls, divide the rice mixture into serving bowls; top with lettuce, corn, black beans, tomatoes, avocado, and cilantro. Drizzle the cream sauce over the top and serve.
