Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 14.5 oz can petite diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 3 bell peppers preferably 1 red, 1 yellow and 1 green cored and sliced
- 1 large yellow onion halved and sliced
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 2 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 3/4 tsp finely chopped coriander optional if you are not a coriander lover you could add basil or parsley instead or just leave it out
- 1 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp pepper
- 2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 12 6- inch flour or corn tortillas
- Cilantro sour cream, salsa, guacamole (link to our guacamole recipe) or sliced avocados, shredded Mexican cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Pour half of the canned tomatoes into the bottom of a slow cooker and spread into an even layer. Top with half of the peppers and half of the onions.
- Spread garlic in. Top with chicken breasts.
- In a bowl whisk together chili powder, cumin, paprika, coriander (or substitutes see notes), salt and pepper.
- Evenly sprinkle half of the seasoning over chicken breasts then flip chicken and sprinkle in remainder.
- Top with remaining half of the tomatoes, then layer in remaining peppers and onions.
- Cover and cook on HIGH heat about 2 - 3 hours or low heat 4 - 6 hours, until chicken has cooked through and veggies are tender.
- Remove chicken, and cut into strips, or shred. Ladle out 1 cup of the broth in slow cooker (mostly tomato liquid) and discard.
- In a small bowl whisk together lime juice and honey and add to slow cooker along with chicken and season with additional salt to taste if desired (I sometimes like to add 1/4cup chopped cilantro too here but this is optional).
- Gently toss. Serve warm in warmed tortillas optional toppings.
