Spicy Slow Cooker Chicken Bowls
Place chicken in large slow cooker on high. Pour salsa overtop the chicken. Cover and cook on high for 2-3 hours, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, as measured with a meat thermometer. Shred chicken in the slow cooker using 2 forks. When ready to serve, assemble bowls by adding brown rice to each bowl, then top with black beans, corn, chicken, cheese, salsa, yogurt, cilantro and scallions (and optional avocado).
