Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dried onion flakes (you can substitute onion powder)
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (I use 1/2 teaspoon because we like a bit more spice)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 yellow onion , cut into 1/2 inch wedges
- 1 red bell pepper , sliced
- 1 green bell pepper , sliced
- 4 cloves garlic , minced
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 lime , cut into wedges
- chopped cilantro , as a garnish
Instructions
- Mix the cornstarch, chili powder, salt, paprika, white sugar, dried onion flakes, cayenne pepper and ground cumin in a small bowl.
- Add the chicken, onions, garlic, bell peppers and salsa to your slow cooker.
- Add the seasonings over the top of the mixture.
- Cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 6 hours. If you cook longer it will also taste fine, but cutting may be more difficult because the chicken will break down easier.
- Just before serving, squeeze fresh lime juice over the top of your chicken. (Do not add lime juice before, it won't have the same flavor after cooking for so long. )
- Garnish with cilantro (optional).
