Ingredients
- 2 ½ pounds chicken breast
- 2 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ¾ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 (10-ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 3 bell peppers, sliced (any color)
- 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (about ½ lime)
- For serving: Corn or flour tortillas, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, shredded cheese
Instructions
- Season the chicken on both sides with garlic powder, chili powder, salt, onion powder, cumin, black pepper, smoked paprika, and oregano. Place it in a large slow cooker.
- Pour the diced tomatoes with green chiles on top of the chicken. Mix together and cover. Cook on low for 5 hours or on high for 3 hours.
- Add the bell peppers and onions, and continue cooking for an additional 45 minutes.
- Remove the chicken using a slotted spoon and shred.
- Add the chicken back to the crockpot and stir in the lime juice.
- Serve with warm corn or flour tortillas, shredded cheese, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.
Notes
- If you prefer crisp bell peppers and onions, add them to the slow cooker and cook for only 30 minutes.
- For a leaner option, use boneless and skinless chicken breasts. For a juicier option, use boneless and skinless chicken thighs.
- Any color of bell peppers will work. To add some spice and heat, add in some jalapeños and/or poblano peppers.
