Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken fillets
- 1 can diced tomatoes (about 14.5 oz)
- 1 cup diced onions
- 2 cups bell peppers, chopped
- 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned, drained if canned)
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Place the chicken fillets evenly in the bottom of the slow cooker, creating a base layer for the other ingredients.
- Add vegetables: Pour the can of diced tomatoes, diced onions, chopped bell peppers, and corn directly over the chicken fillets.
- Season: Sprinkle the garlic powder, salt, and pepper evenly over the mixture to infuse flavor throughout the dish.
- Combine ingredients: Gently stir all the ingredients in the slow cooker to ensure they are well mixed and the seasoning is distributed.
- Cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours, allowing the chicken to cook thoroughly and the flavors to meld.
- Shred and serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken fillets and shred them using two forks, then stir the shredded chicken back into the slow cooker before serving to create a cohesive dish.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen bell peppers and corn as per availability; canned vegetables work as well if drained properly.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and pepper, depending on dietary preferences.
- For a spicier variation, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes before cooking.
- Serve the shredded chicken mixture over rice, quinoa, or with warm tortillas for a complete meal.
- If pressed for time, cooking on high for 3-4 hours is possible, but low and slow is best for tenderness.
