 I love love love using my crock pot. You just throw stuff in and forget about it. It doesn't heat up your house, and the delicious smells...mmm... I wasn't sure how this recipe would turn out but it was fantastic. My husband loved it. I found this recipe here.

1/2lb (8oz) frozen corn

1 Tbsp chili powder

1/2 Tbsp cumin

1/2 Tbsp minced garlic

1/2 tsp dried oregano

1/4 tsp cayenne

1/4 tsp salt

crack pepper, to taste

2 cups dry rice

8 oz shredded cheddar

Directions

Add everything except the cheese, and rice to the slow cooker along with 1/4 cup of water. Give everything a good stir and make sure the chicken is covered. Secure lid and cook on low for 8 hours.

Near the end of the cooking time, cook the two cups of rice according to package directions.

After the 8 hours of cooking, carefully remove the lid of the slow cooker. Shred the chicken with a fork. Build the chicken bowls by putting rice on the bottom, the chicken mix and then the shredded cheese.
