RECIPE: Slowcooker Chicken & Bell Pepper Stew

RECIPE: Slowcooker Chicken & Bell Pepper Stew

INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 pounds of boneless skinless chicken breast
2 large green bell peppers
2-3 medium onions
1 1/2 cups of hot water
15 oz can of beans of your choice
14.5 oz can of diced tomatos
1 1/2 teaspoons of cummin
1 1/2 teaspoons of sugar
1 teaspoon of dried oregano, crumbled (optional..I did not use this)
1/2 teaspoons of salt
1/2 teaspoon cummin


DIRECTIONS:
Put chicken in crockpot and cook on low for 3-4 hours...it will NOT be done yet.
Then, in a large bowl chop up the green peppers and onions.
Add the water, beans, tomatos, 1 1/2 teaspoon of cummin and the sugar.
Stir it all together in the bowl.
Take a metal spatcula and kindof give your chicken a quick chop up in the crock pot to where it is all pretty much roughly chopped up.
Then pour the mixture from the bowl over the chicken and mix together well.
Cook on HIGH for 4 hours.
After the time is up, stir in 1/2 teaspoon of cummin and 1/2 teaspoon of salt...mix & serve!

i have never used a slow cooker or crock pot before vivi but i have definately been thinking about getting one just to make life easier.

Your recipee sounds lovely but i was shocked to see that the ingrediants are in the pot for up to eight hours all told, have i read that right ???

3-4 hours, then 4 again, wow, seems like such a long time, i guess im just used to having our meals ready in around 30-45 mins lol xxx
