- 1 cup diced onions
- 2 cups chopped bell peppers
- 1 cup corn
Seasonings
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the slow cooker: Place the chicken fillets evenly at the bottom of your slow cooker to create a base for the vegetables and seasonings.
- Add vegetables: Pour the diced tomatoes, diced onions, chopped bell peppers, and corn over the chicken to layer the flavors and ingredients evenly.
- Season the dish: Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and pepper over all the ingredients in the slow cooker for a balanced and robust flavor profile.
- Mix ingredients: Gently stir the mixture to combine the seasonings with the vegetables and chicken, ensuring even cooking and flavor distribution.
- Cook low and slow: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on the low setting for 6 to 8 hours, allowing the chicken to become tender and absorb the flavors.
- Shred the chicken: Once cooking is complete, remove the chicken and shred it using two forks directly in the slow cooker or on a cutting board before mixing it back in evenly.
- Serve and enjoy: Give the shredded chicken a final stir with the vegetables and serve hot for a comforting and easy meal.
Notes
- You can add additional spices like paprika or chili powder for a smoky or spicy twist.
- If preferred, substitute chicken breasts with thighs for a juicier texture.
- Add a splash of chicken broth for extra moisture if desired.
- Serve over rice, pasta, or with a side of crusty bread to complete the meal.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
