Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breast strips, bell pepper, and onion in the slow cooker. Add chicken broth and 1/4 cup soy sauce, then season with cumin, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine, cover, and cook on Low for 4 1/2 to 5 hours, until the chicken is tender and flavors are fully developed.
