Ingredients

4 servings
  • 1½ pounds chicken breast or thighs (sliced into very thin strips)
  • 1 large onion (sliced into thin strips)
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons jalapeno (minced, I used 1 fairly large jalapeno)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 3 tablespoons taco seasoning (I used this homemade Mexican spice mix)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 small bell peppers (I used red, orange and green, sliced into thin strips)

Steps

  1. Place the onion and the chicken in the bottom of the crockpot and set the crockpot to LOW.

  2. Mix together the salsa, lime juice, jalapeno, garlic, and spices. Pour over the chicken and onions and toss to coat. Cover with the lid and cook for 1-1½ hours.

  3. When the chicken is mostly cooked through, add the bell peppers and toss to combine. Cook for an additional hour.

  4. If desired, remove the lid after an hour and let the sauce thicken without the lid for another 30 minutes. You can also drain most of the liquid into a small saucepan and reduce it over medium heat if you prefer.
