Ingredients

• Bell peppers
• Onion
• Garlic
• Chicken breasts
• Diced tomatoes
• Paprika
• Chili powder
• Oregano
• Cumin
• Lime juice
• Salt & Pepper: to taste
• Optional tortillas: two 6-inch corn tortillas, or one 6-inch whole wheat flour tortilla.

Directions

1. Slice the bell peppers, chop the onion, and smash the garlic cloves. Then place the garlic, peppers and onion at the bottom of your crockpot.
2. Cut the chicken breasts in half and set them on top of the veggies. Season chicken with paprika, chili powder, oregano, and cumin. Salt & pepper to taste.
3. Drain the can of diced tomatoes and then add the tomatoes to the top of your chicken.
4. Place the lid on the crockpot to cover and cook on high for 2 hours, or on low for 3-4 hours until the chicken is cooked through.
5. When the cook time is done, remove chicken and shred it with two forks. You can also slice the chicken, if you prefer.
6. Place the chicken back into the crockpot and stir in the lime juice.
7. Serve on tortillas or rice and enjoy!

Recipe tips

• Optional toppings are avocado, sour cream, or shredded cheese. Make sure to adjust your container counts or SmartPoints if you add in any optional ingredients. 
• If you’d like to use a store bought taco or fajitas seasoning packet instead of the stated seasonings, you’ll need to make sure it’s approved if you follow any Beachbody programs.
• You can easily double the recipe without changing the cooking time. If your slow cooker seems overloaded, you might want to rearrange the chicken at some point and take an internal temperature reading to be sure that they’re done cooking. Chicken needs to cook to 165º F to be safe, so make sure it reaches that temperature before you eat it.
• This recipe makes about 8 servings, so it’s a great one for meal prep! Once the chicken is cooked, you can freeze it in individual serving containers or put it into meal prep containers for use later in the week.
