Crockpot Chicken Bowls With Yellow Rice And Cilantro Pesto

4.0

1 lb. chicken breasts

8 ounces of a simmer sauce or enchilada sauce that you like (see notes for my recs)

1 tablespoon cornstarch whisked into 1-2 tablespoons water

Extra seasoning to taste – I often add a few shakes of chipotle powder, salt, and pepper

1 cup white rice

1 ½ cups water

1 tablespoon butter

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon chili powder

⅛ teaspoon turmeric

1 ½ cups cilantro leaves

½ jalapeño, ribs and seeds removed

1 clove garlic

Juice and zest of 1 lime

¼ cup olive oil or avocado oil

½ cup roasted salted pistachios

Pickled onions (a must for me, every time)

Sour cream and/or your favorite salsa (see notes)

A salad mix

Put the chicken in a slow cooker and cover with sauce; cook for 2 ½ – 3 hours on high. Shred chicken directly in the slow cooker. Add the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce. Season to taste.
Rinse the rice in a fine mesh colander. Add the rice, water, butter, salt, chili powder, and turmeric to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove the cover, fluff it up, and season to taste.
Blend everything up in a small chopper or food processor until smooth-ish (I leave some texture in mine)! It’ll be a very thick sauce, which I love – you can add water as desired to thin it out.
I love the combination of the yellow rice with a scoop of chicken, some salad greens, pickled onions, and a dollop of that cilantro pesto on top!
