📖 Instructions

1. First things first, grab your 6-quart slow cooker and give it a quick rinse. You know, just to make sure there are no lingering smells from that last time you experimented with 'interesting' flavor combinations. Don't judge, everyone's had those moments!
2. Next, get your chicken breasts ready. If using frozen, give them some time to thaw—don't want to end up with a rocky-textured dish! Once they're thawed and ready to go, give 'em a quick rinse and pat them dry with paper towels. Think of it as a spa day for your chicken.
3. Now, for the fun part! Chop up an onion into roughly 1/2-inch chunks. You could do smaller, but then you might end up with some onion-dust on your chicken. Nobody wants that. Not even your chicken.
4. After that, grab your bell peppers and chop them up similarly to the onion. Again, don't go too small, unless you like a really intense pepper flavor. Remember, balance is key, my friends!
5. In your trusty slow cooker, toss in the chicken, onion, bell peppers, garlic, cumin, chili powder, and your preferred amount of salsa. Remember to adjust the salsa to suit your taste. Too much heat? Less salsa. Not enough? Well, add some more!
6. Stir everything gently until the chicken is mostly coated in the glorious salsa mixture. Try not to smash the chicken too much--we want it to stay relatively whole so it shreds nicely later.
7. Now for the moment of truth—put the lid on your slow cooker and turn the setting to low. Let the magic happen for about 6-7 hours, or 3-4 hours on high. Remember, timing may vary depending on your slow cooker, so keep an eye on it!
8. Once the chicken is cooked thoroughly (it should easily shred with a fork), take it out carefully. Let it cool down slightly, but not too long, you don't want a cold chicken fiesta!
9. Once cool enough, shred your cooked chicken using two forks. This is so satisfying, I actually kind of look forward to it.
10. Mix the shredded chicken back into the delicious salsa concoction in the slow cooker. Get it all good and saucy!
11. And that's it! Your slow-cooked salsa chicken is ready to be devoured. Serve it with whatever your heart desires: tacos, quesadillas, rice, on its own... the possibilities are endless! Enjoy!
