- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions
-
Season the chicken on both sides with garlic powder, chili powder, salt, onion powder, cumin, black pepper, smoked paprika, and oregano. Place it in a large slow cooker.

Pour the diced tomatoes with green chiles on top of the chicken. Mix together and cover. Cook on low for 5 hours or on high for 3 hours.
-
Add the bell peppers and onions, and continue cooking for an additional 45 minutes.
-
Remove the chicken using a slotted spoon and shred.
-
Add the chicken back to the crockpot and stir in the lime juice.
-
Serve with warm corn or flour tortillas, shredded cheese, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.
Notes
- If you prefer crisp bell peppers and onions, add them to the slow cooker and cook for only 30 minutes.
- For a leaner option, use boneless and skinless chicken breasts. For a juicier option, use boneless and skinless chicken thighs.
- Any color of bell peppers will work. To add some spice and heat, add in some jalapeños and/or poblano peppers.
