# Instructions:

Toss the chicken, salsa, cilantro lime dressing, broth, and spices into the slow cooker. Turn it on high and let it cook for about 4 hours.

Use two forks to pull the cooked chicken apart into shreds. Leave it in the cooker for another 10 minutes to soak up all the flavors. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Make the rice according to the package directions. Warm up the black beans and the corn. Chop your cilantro, dice the avocados, and slice the lime.
04 -
In each serving bowl, layer rice, shredded chicken, beans, corn, and avocado chunks. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro, set lime slices on the side, and drizzle with extra cilantro lime dressing.

Serve while it's still hot. Let everyone squeeze their lime over the meal as they like.
# Notes:
01 -
If prepping ahead, keep the parts separate. Only put them together just before eating to keep it fresh.
02 -
Extra chicken freezes up to 3 months in well-sealed containers.
