Instructions

1-First, prepare your chicken by seasoning 1.5 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts with 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 0.5 teaspoon chili powder, 0.5 teaspoon paprika, 0.5 teaspoon ground coriander, 2 teaspoons minced garlic, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. This mix ensures every bite is packed with spice and savor. Next, place the seasoned chicken in the bottom of your slow cooker for even cooking.

2-Then, add the other ingredients on top: pour in one 16-ounce jar of mango peach salsa, one 15-ounce can of drained and rinsed black beans, and 1.25 cups thawed frozen corn. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice and sprinkle 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro for that fresh twist. For the coconut rice, in a separate pot, combine 1.5 cups rinsed jasmine rice with 1.5 cups coconut water or water and 1.25 cups full-fat canned coconut milk, then cook according to package instructions.

3-Once assembled, cover the slow cooker and set it to low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours until the chicken is tender. About 30 minutes before it’s done, give everything a gentle stir to blend the flavors. While the chicken cooks, prepare the rice so it’s ready to serve alongside, topped with optional slices of avocado and mango for extra flair.
