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.
