This bowl will whisk your taste buds away to a beach in Jamaica. Bowl meals have become all of the rage lately. They are a fun way to mix up a variety of flavors and textures. Guests also love to be able to pick their own ingredients and assemble their own bowl.
To make this #dinnerdoneby9am I place the chicken in the slow cooker in the morning, prep the bowl ingredients, then refrigerate the prepped items all day and pull everything out when it is time to eat.
