Chicken recipe

J&K10910

I'm going to make burrito bowls with shredded chicken.  I'll do the chicken in the crock pot.  My normal go-to recipes for shredded chicken in the crock pot are either fairly bland or relatively labor intensive for crock pot stuff. 

Any suggestions for a good, easy shredded chicken in the crock pot that will be good in burrito bowls?

We do an adobo pork recipe last week that was a big hit.  It would work very well for chicken.  Here's the recipe:

I also found this new recipe this weekend that we'll be trying later this week:

I use a homemade seasoning mix that tastes like those taco packets, but without crazy chemicals and sodium:

I put a sliced onion at the bottom of the crock, then chicken breasts, then the spices (maybe a couple of teaspoons worth - I can check if you're interested), and then some slices jalepenos from the jar. Adding sliced bell peppers can make it more like fajita chicken. Sometimes I'll put a little of the jar juice in the crock to help get it started, sometimes some lime juice or chicken broth. Even a bit of water would probably work. The onion starts letting out enough liquid so that you don't need a ton additional.

Those pork carnitas are so good!  I've made those before.

I have used the skinnytaste sante fe chicken recipes for tacos. I imagine it would work good in a burrito bowl as well.

J&K, now I know what we'll be having for dinner!  Mmm, burrito bowls.

The SkinnyTaste recipes are usually really tasty.  I haven't tried the carnitas one yet but it may have to be the on the menu for next week.

I'd make them with jalapeno, garlic, onion and honey. And cumin. Yum.

The Skinny Taste carnitas is really good.

For chicken I put about a pound of boneless/skinless chicken breasts coated with a packet of reduced sodium taco seasoning in the crock pot then dump on top an entire jar of salsa.  Adjust spiciness by using hotter salsa.  

Since you're in the cities - try this salsa - it's really really good:   http://www.snappydogsalsa.com/purchase.htm
