Equipment

Slow Cooker (5 ½ quarts or larger)

Ingredients

1 ½ lb. raw chicken breasts
1 (12 oz.) jar your favorite clean salsa (I used Salsa Authentica from Trader Joe's)
1 lb. frozen corn, thawed
1 lb. frozen, mixed bell peppers (also found at Trader Joe's)
3 standard-sized clean corn tortillas, ripped or shredded by hand
olives and plain yogurt for garnish (optional)

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Place the chicken in the bottom of the pot, and pour everything else over it. (Cover and store in the fridge overnight if needed)
Place pot/insert in your slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours.
Note that the tortillas will not look very pretty after cooking. But they do add a nice flavor.
When cooking is finished, simply use a wooden spoon to stir everything up and break apart the chicken.
Serve garnished with some sliced, black olives and/or a dab of plain yogurt.
