Low Carb Chronicles: Fiesta Chicken



This recipe sounded like a fun time. We do eat a lot of chicken around here, even though it is my least favorite meat (besides pork - bacon excluded).

There are a lot of ways to cook chicken, and this one was tasty.

I got it from a slow cooker cookbook. I have been looking through all the recipes that have come with our new kitchen gadgets from the wedding.

Check this out for a fun twist on plain ol' chicken. And it is super easy. I added cheese on top at the end right before serving. It worked out nicely.

As always, be careful with that jalapeno prep work.

1 tbs. oil
3 lbs. boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
3 gloves garlic, minced
1 jalapeno pepper, chopped
1 14 oz. can Mexican style diced tomatoes
1/4 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. oregano

In a large skillet, heat the oil and cook the chicken pieces until browned. Remove and drain. Place the onion, green pepper, garlic and jalapeno pepper in the skillet, and saute until slightly cooked. Add all of the ingredients to the slow cooker and stir. Cover; cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours.

recommended unit size: 4-7 quarts
