Description

This is a delicious, versatile filling, and it makes your kitchen smell good. Spice it up or down. Add this to a tortilla with some cheese, grill, and you have a wonderful quesadilla. Add black beans and cheese to a pile of romaine and you have a healthy taco salad. Layer with corn tortillas, cheese, and sauce, and voila! Enchiladas! Besides being healthy, it is a great time saver because it freezes beautifully!

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast (frozen Okay)
  • Salt And Pepper
  • 2 whole Sweet Peppers (I Used Red And Yellow)
  • 1 whole Onion
  • 4 ounces, weight Diced Green Chiles
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1 Tablespoon Chili Powder, Or To Taste
  • 2 dashes Red Pepper Flakes (or To Taste)
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Jalapeno (optional)
  • ¾ cups Water

Preparation

Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Place in a crock pot. Chop peppers and onions, add to the crock pot along with the canned green chilies. Mince garlic, add to the pot with chili powder and red pepper flakes. At this point, I also added some dried jalapeno, if you have it. Add water, stir. Cover, turn crock pot on high and walk away for about 4 hours.

When the chicken is done, take it out and shred with 2 forks. Return to the crock pot; stir and keep warm until ready to serve.

like the chicken that I am, I didn’t put in the red pepper flakes because I thought it would be too hot for me. Well. Next time I will add it. Wasn’t very spicy. But it was delicious!! Also next time I might add the salt after I shred the chicken.
