Crockpot Jerk Chicken Cauliflower Rice Bowls

Crockpot Jerk Chicken Cauliflower Rice Bowls – the perfect weeknight dinner that is quick, easy, delicious and Whole30 compliant!

This Crockpot Jerk Chicken Cauliflower Rice Bowl is so quick and easy – ideal for those busy weeknights!

Well, you guys – I did it.  Pretty sure this is the very first crockpot recipe on the blog.  I have nothing against crockpots, they just generally aren’t my thing.  I know it might sound crazy to a lot of people, but I genuinely like cooking – even after a long day of work.  I guess that is why I don’t gravitate towards using mine that often.  That being said….. I am always so happy when I use it because there are like NO DISHES!  And that is a huge motivating factor for me :-). So, maybe you will see more crockpot recipes…. maybe.

Anyway, this recipe came about a couple weeks ago when I had a birthday get-together for my brother at my house on a Thursday night.  I was going to have like 8-10 people and needed something quick and easy that I could whip together after work and not totally destroy my kitchen.  For whatever reason, I was craving jerk chicken, so I thought I would just go to the store, buy a jerk chicken rub and make some chicken.

Whelp, ALL the pre-made jerk chicken rubs had sugar in them, so I decided to make my own.

I tossed it all in a crockpot, just to see what would happen, it was freakin glorious.  The easiest thing I have ever made and so delicious.

Serve it on cauliflower rice OR as a taco.  Either way, top it with cilantro and avocado for sure with some extra lime, and maybe throw in some mango or extra jalapeno if you want. So, so delicious and you will spend about 7 minutes putting all the random spices together, but other than that there really isn’t any cooking involved.

It is that easy.

I hope you guys have a good start to the week!!
