So here you go:

3 whole chicken breasts

2 bell peppers, chopped
1 jalapeño, pith and seeds removed, if you'd like
2 14.5 oz. cans of diced green chilies 
1 1/2 cup of frozen corn

3 tsp. of coconut oil
1 cup of chopped cilantro 
And the seasoning:

1 T. Cumin
2 tsp. Garlic powder 
2 tsp. Onion powder
1 tsp. Oregano
1 tsp. Salt (you can get fancy with this)

Toss it all in, and cook for 6 hours!  Shred and cook for an additional 30 mins.
Makes 6 servings
As is it is: 1 Red, 1Green, 1 Yellow, 1/2 tsp.
