Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 whole bell peppers (red, yellow, green, or orange)
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 3 whole garlic cloves
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 14 ounces diced tomatoes (canned, with juices)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
• 4 cups cooked rice or quinoa (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and prepare the vegetables. Slice the bell peppers into thin strips. Dice the onion, and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly browned. This step is optional but adds extra flavor.

Step 3

In the crock pot, add the seared chicken breasts, sliced bell peppers, diced onion, and minced garlic.

Step 4

Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth and the canned diced tomatoes with their juices.

Step 5

Sprinkle the Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper evenly over the ingredients.

Step 6

Stir gently to combine the spices with the vegetables and liquid while keeping the chicken breasts mostly on the bottom of the crock pot.

Step 7

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Step 8

Once cooked, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If the sauce is too thin, you can remove the lid and allow it to simmer for 15-20 minutes on high to thicken slightly.

Step 9

Serve the Crock Pot Chick N Peppers over rice or quinoa, if desired. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of freshness.
