How to make these chicken bowls:

Start by preparing your crockpot chicken. You’ll want at least 3-4hrs for the chicken to cook in the crockpot.
Add chicken breast, onion, salsa verde and seasonings in the crockpot. Set on high for 3-4 hrs.
Once chicken has cooked and reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees, remove and shred in a small bowl.
Place back in the crockpot to soak up the salsa verde. Add juice of ½ lime.
Cook rice according to package. I like to use the frozen rice from trader joes!
In a bowl, add rice, roasted corn, salsa verde crockpot chicken, fresh yellow onion, cilantro and avocado. Add piece of lime to drizzle on top.
Enjoy!!

How to store your chicken bowls:

It’s best to store your leftover ingredients in a sealed container in the fridge. If you plan to prep these bowls, I recommend leaving the rice and chicken out separately so those can be reheated without the veggies. I like these containers for storage in the fridge or these for easy meal prep!

If you want to pair this salsa verde chicken, try these ways:

Put it in a taco or tostada!
Top your salsa verde chicken on nachos
