More chicken in the slow cooker:

material

2 lbs. Boneless skinless chicken breast (see note)
1 onion, thinly sliced (I used red onion)
1 red bell pepper, sliced into half circles
1 green bell pepper, sliced into half-circle slices
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chicken broth (see note)
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (optional)

for serving

flour tortillas (I use low carb tortillas)
Melting Cheese (using Mexican Four Cheese Blend)
sour cream
Guacamole
salsa
(You can also add lettuce or tomato.)

procedure

Remove all visible fat and tendons from chicken breast and cut chicken crosswise into 1-inch slices.
put the chicken in the crockpot
Cut off both ends of the onion, peel it, cut it in half, and cut it into half moons.
Add onions to crockpot;
Cut off the stems from the red and green bell peppers, cut them in half, remove the seeds and guts, and cut into half-moon slices. (Cut off the stem and bottom edge.)
Add peppers to crockpot;
Squeeze lime juice over crockpot chicken, onions, and peppers.
In a small bowl, mix the chili powder, cumin, and salt into the chicken broth (I used homemade chicken stock).
Pour over chicken.
Cover and cook over low heat for 6-7 hours, high heat for 3-4 hours, or until tender. (I usually cook on high heat for about 3 hours.)
Spoon chicken and vegetables into warm tortillas (I use low-carb tortillas) and serve with toppings. This goes great with Cilantro-Lover’s Perfect Guacamole.
It’s delicious even if you serve it on a plate and put cheese on it or topping it.

Note

You will need about 4 large chicken breasts to make 6 servings.

I used homemade chicken stock, but canned chicken broth or chicken stock from a carton works well for this recipe.
