Equipment

  • Slow Cooker 5 hours on low for this one, so it wants a cooker you can start and walk away from.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 2 bell peppers mixed colors, sliced
  • 1 onion medium, sliced
  • flour or corn tortillas for serving

Instructions

  • Season the chicken: Place the chicken in the crockpot and sprinkle with the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
  • Add the liquid: Pour in the broth and lime juice.
  • Cook: Cover and cook on low for 5 hours or high for 2.5 hours, until the chicken reaches 165°F.
  • Add the vegetables: Shred or slice the chicken, then stir in the bell peppers and onion. Cover and cook on high for another 45-60 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  • Serve: Pile into warm tortillas with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Add the peppers and onion in the final 45-60 minutes on high, not at the start, or they turn to mush over the full cook.
