How to Make Black Bean Chicken Bowls for Two in a Crock Pot

Aunt Lou here.

This momma is tired. Life is usually hectic around here, like it is for most people, but life has been kicking me around here lately. I needed a recipe that was going to be filling, delicious and not take a lot of time. So, I decided that it was a good time to make these Crock Pot Black Bean Chicken Bowls for Two. It checks off all the boxes and is loved in my home. I hope you enjoy this as much as we do.

(Psst…if this recipe sounds good to you, but you need more servings, I have you covered. You can find the original recipe here.)

2/3 cup chunky salsa
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Shredded lettuce
Shredded Mexican blend cheese
Tortilla chips

Equipment Needed

Can opener
Measuring cups
Measuring spoons
2 Quart Crock Pot
Small bowl (If you do not want to shred your chicken in your slow cooker insert.)
Two forks
Slotted spoon for serving

Time Needed

Prep Time: 5 to 7 minutes
Cooking Time: 2 to 3 hours on low or 1 hour to 1 hour and 30 minutes on high, until your chicken has reached at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit in the middle and can easily be shredded with two forks

As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.
All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
