Light Crock Pot Fiesta Chicken & Rice Bowls are loaded with chicken, brown rice and pico de gallo for a healthy dish you can throw in your slow cooker for an easy and delicious meal that will be ready to serve when you get home from work!
Mexican food is one of my favorites. Not only is it packed with flavor, but it is so easy to make healthy with all of the veggies typically incorporated into any Mexican dish. It’s that time of year again, where we are all starting to think about getting our act together, heading back to the gym and watching what we eat. We all know it isn’t easy though. Frankly, when I get home from the gym after work, I just want to kick up my feet and relax. Slaving over the stove does not always sound appealing. That is why this is the best time of year to dust off your Crock Pot and put that bad boy to good use!

Hi, Is the nutrition list for one bowl or the whole recipe. I made this and loved it. I am doing Weight Watchers and need the nutrition for 1 serving.
Thank you
Teresa
It’s for a 1/4 of the recipe.
This is my 29 year old daughters favorite dish. When I asked her what she wanted for her birthday dinner this year, she requested this recipe. I have made it several times and now all the girls at work are trying it as well. Easy to make and tastes amazing.
That’s wonderful to hear! So glad you enjoy it!
i have made this in the past and loved it! i’m actually cutting meat out of my diet and was thinking of putting black beans instead of chicken. Should i add it in with the rest of the ingredients? any recommendations? Thanks!
I would add it with the rest of the ingredients, but I have never tested it like that. Let me know how it goes!
