Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 small bell pepper sliced
  • 1 large sweet onion thinly sliced
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 pounds chicken breast boneless, skinless
  • 2 cubes TOMATO bouillon with chicken flavor
  • 1/2 teaspoon adobo all-purpose seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin ground
  • 15 ounce can chicken broth low-sodium

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil; once hot, add the peppers, onion, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine
  2. Cook until the vegetables are softened, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Take off the heat.
  3. Spray an 8-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Place the chicken into the bottom of the pot.
  4. Crumble the bouillon and sprinkle it over the chicken. Sprinkle the remaining garlic powder and onion powder on top. Add the adobo and cumin.
  5. Pour the chicken broth around the chicken, then add the peppers and onions.
  6. Place the lid on and cook for 6-8 hours on low or 2-4 hours on high.
  7. Shred the chicken in the pot and mix everything together. Serve in tacos, or however you wish.

Notes

  • Extremely flavorful, this makes an excellent chicken taco but is great in other recipes like enchiladas or quesadillas.
  • Make sure to use low-sodium chicken broth or stock so the end result isn’t too salty.
  • Substitute boneless skinless chicken thighs or chicken tenderloins.
  • If you can’t find the tomato chicken bouillon, you can use plain chicken.
  • If you can’t find the adobo seasoning, you can add a more garlic powder in it's place or leave it out. 
  • Reheat in the slow cooker, skillet, or microwave.
  • Keep in the fridge for up to 3 days, freeze for up to 3 months.
