Slow cooker Mexican chicken casserole with tender chicken thighs, colorful bell peppers, shallots, tomatoes, spices, and a touch of honey for sweetness.
Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1.5 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon garlic granules
  • 1.5 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1.5 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1.5 teaspoons mild paprika
  • 1.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 1.5 teaspoons white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 pinch cumin seeds
  • sea salt to taste
  • cold water to cover
  • 2 cups tomato puree
  • 8 shallots, peeled and left whole
  • 1 large red onion, cut into small thin strips
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 3 tablespoons honey
Instructions:
  • In a skillet over medium-high heat, sizzle chicken thighs in olive oil until beautifully browned, approximately 10 minutes. Move them to a slow cooker.
  • Combine garlic granules, chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, pepper, sugar, mustard powder, coriander, oregano, thyme, cayenne, ginger, cumin seeds, and sea salt in a mortar and pestle and grind into a flavorful spice mix.
  • Season the chicken with half of the spice mix and cover with water. Add the rest of the spice mix, tomato puree, shallots, onion, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and honey to the slow cooker.
  • Slow cook until the flavors meld perfectly and the chicken is cooked through, about 6 to 8 hours.
