Slow Cooker White Chili Chicken Burrito Bowls

All of the flavours of white chili chicken, made in a slow cooker, in a tasty burrito bowl.

White chili chicken is a chili made with chicken, green chilies and cream, it’s one of my favourites, and you can’t go wrong making it in a slow cooker before throwing it into a burrito bowl! This recipe takes all of the flavours of white chicken chili and places it in a rice bowl that’s just packed with flavour! The chicken is cooked in a slow cooker along with salsa verde, green chilies, onions, garlic, cumin and when it’s done cream cheese is mixed in. The bowl is then constructed, as you like, with ingredients such as: cooked rice, lettuce, beans, corn, avocado, cheese, sour cream, jalapenos, cilantro, etc. You could of course use the slow cooker white chili chicken in an actual burrito, or in tacos, quesadillas, etc.

Feel free to make some burritos!
