Slow Cooker (5 ½ quarts or larger)

Ingredients

1½ lb. raw chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
12 oz. jar of your favorite salsa (I used Salsa Authentica from Trader Joe's)

1 lb. frozen, mixed bell peppers (also found at Trader Joe's)
3 standard-sized corn tortillas (ripped or shredded by hand)
olives and plain yogurt for garnish (optional)

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Gather and measure all ingredients.
Place the chicken in the bottom of the pot, and pour everything else over it. (Cover and store in the fridge overnight if prepping ahead of time.) 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.
