- 2 cups Low-sodium chicken broth

Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker.
Add the black beans, corn, and canned diced tomatoes (including juices) over the chicken.
Pour in the chicken broth and sprinkle the uncooked rice evenly over the top.
Add the onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper into the slow cooker.
Stir gently to combine, making sure the rice is fully submerged in the liquid.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6-7 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir to mix it with the rice and other ingredients.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve the burrito filling in bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro, shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado slices, and a squeeze of lime, if desired.
