If you're looking for an effortless slow cooker meal that involves 4 ingredients and requires only 5 minutes of prep time, look no further than this delicious southwest chicken quinoa bowl recipe! Perfect for busy weeknights or meal prep!
Equipment
- 1 6 Quart Crock-Pot
Ingredients
- 1-1.25 Pounds Chicken Breast
- Salt & Pepper To Taste
- 16 Ounce Jar of Salsa
- 1 Cup Quinoa Rinsed and Drained
- 1 Cup Chicken Bone Broth or Chicken Broth
- Top With Optional:
- Low-Fat Plain Greek Yogurt
- Cherry Tomatoes Sliced
- Shredded Low-fat Mozzarella Cheese
- Avocado Diced
Instructions
- Add your chicken breast to the bottom of a crockpot and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Next, add in your rinsed and drained quinoa, followed by your jar of salsa and your chicken bone broth. Give it a stir and make sure your quinoa is submerged into the liquid.
- Cook on high for 3-4 hours. When the meal is finished cooking (your quinoa appears nice and fluffy and your chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 F), remove your chicken, shred it and then add it back into the slow cooker. Stir until everything is well combined. Serve on its own or you can optionally serve with suggested toppings listed above. Enjoy!
- Hint: If you have my specific slow cooker (which tends to cook hot), this meal will be ready in 3 hours on high.
