Pollo Asada Rice Bowl

A while back I shared my first couple meals I had prepared from a Wildtree freezer Meals workshop I attended last fall. You can find the Ranch Chicken Chili HERE and the Apple Balsamic Pork Roast HERE.  And I am excited to share another. We made 10 freezer meals total and ate them rather quickly. I was sure that there would be at least a couple that I didn't love, but I soon found out that would not be the case. We loved every single one of the freezer meals we made.

I wasn't sure how this Pollo Asada Rice bowl would go over in my house because Travis does not like rice!

• 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs


• ½ medium onion


• diced 15 oz can of diced tomatoes


• 15 oz can of black beans, drained & rinsed


• 1 cup frozen corn


• 2 tablespoons Wildtree Spicy Carne Asada Seasoning


• ½ tablespoon lime juice (provided at workshop)


• 1 teaspoon salt


• ¼ cup water

1. Mix all ingredients into freezer bag.


2. Remove air, seal & attach label.


3. Double bag and freeze.

Additional ingredients at cooking time:

• 2 cups uncooked brown rice or quinoa


• 8 oz shredded cheddar cheese


• 1 sliced avocado


• ¼ cup cilantro, chopped (optional)

To prepare:

1. Thaw in fridge.


2. Place contents of bag in crockpot.


3. Cook on low for 8 hours.


4. Near the end of crockpot cooking time, prepare rice/quinoa according to package directions.


5. When making the rice/quinoa, substitute 1 cup of water with 1 cup of liquid from the crockpot.  (This will add flavor to the rice/quinoa.)


6. After 8 hours of cooking, use fork to shred chicken.


7. Serve by placing rice/quinoa on plate then add chicken mixture.


8. Top with shredded cheese, avocado slices & chopped cilantro. Serves 8.

This was another hit with my family! We all loved it and I have made it twice since I originally made it at the freezer meal workshop!
