Notes
Crockpot pina colada chicken: This crockpot pina colada chicken is the star of this tropical chicken bowl! It'll take about 4 hours to cook, so make sure to prepare it ahead of time. If you want to use another tropical chicken (like pineapple chicken), you can swap that in instead.
Prep ahead: This recipe is even easier if you’ve already prepared the crockpot chicken a day or two in advance. Simply reheat single servings of the chicken in the microwave for about 1 minute, stirring halfway through, before adding it to your bowl.

Serving suggestions: Serve tropical chicken bowls on their own for a satisfying lunch or dinner, or pair with a refreshing side of chips and salsa.
Storing and reheating: We recommend storing leftover ingredients for these tropical chicken bowls in separate airtight containers in the fridge. The chicken and rice will stay good for up to 5 days, while fresh mango cubes should stay good for about 3 to 4 days. Sliced avocado can be kept in the fridge for 1 to 2 days, but note that it may brown.
Reheat chicken and rice in the microwave for about 1 to 2 minutes per serving, stirring halfway through.
