Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Bowls
Description
The recipe starts by lightly browning ground chicken to develop some texture before adding it to a slow cooker with chopped onion, bell peppers, zucchini, taco seasoning, and diced tomatoes with green chilies. Slow cooking for several hours softens the vegetables and infuses the dish with southwestern flavors. Finishing with a topping of shredded cheddar cheese and fresh cilantro adds richness and freshness. The resulting taco bowl combines tender chicken and vegetables with mellow heat and tang from the chilis and seasoning.
