Slow Cooker Chicken Burrito Bowls {gluten free}

by gfgirlmelb

You may have noticed I love Mexican inspired food and this recipe is no exception. The highlight of the meal is the slow cooker chicken. It is delicious, juicy and tender!

Don’t be frightened by the long ingredients list for this recipe, it’s surprisingly quick and easy to whip up. I put my chicken, spices and stock in the slow cooker in the morning, leave it for 6-8 hours and come back to perfectly cooked chicken, with minimal effort required.

What else could you make with the chicken? Chicken enchiladas or tacos are to other uses for this versatile chicken. Let me know if you have any other ideas?

I hope you enjoy!
