Chili-Cheese Chicken

Make 4 servings

This recipe puts a Mexican twist on traditional crockpot chicken. Enjoy this slow-cooked meal which bursts with flavor! It's a great way to add a little spice to your life.

1/2        cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/4        cup diced green bell pepper
1/4        cup diced red bell pepper
1/4        cup minced cilantro
1/4        cup diced tomatoes
1/2        teaspoon  chili powder
1/2        teaspoon  ground cumin
1/8        teaspoon  salt
4           skinless, boneless chicken breasts - pounded to 1/4 inch thickness (do this yourself or buy them cut this way)

In a bowl, mix the shredded cheese, peppers, cilantro, and tomatoes. Season with chili powder, cumin, and salt. Cover one side of the chicken breasts with enough cheese mixture to coat. Roll breasts over mixture, and secure with toothpicks. Place the chicken breasts in a crock-pot. Pour in the remaining cheese mixture. Cover, and cook 3 hours on High.
