Ingredients
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon fajita seasoning
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 cloves garlic, minced
Nonstick cooking spray
2 14-1/2-ounce cans no-salt-added diced tomatoes
1 16-ounce package frozen pepper (yellow, green, and red) and onion stir-fry vegetables
1 15-ounce can cannellini beans (white kidney beans), rinsed and drained
3 tablespoons light dairy sour cream (optional)
3 tablespoons shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese (optional)
3 tablespoons purchased guacamole (optional)
Directions
1. In a medium bowl, combine chicken, chili powder, fajita seasoning, cumin, and garlic; toss to coat. Coat an unheated large skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken, half at a time, in hot skillet until browned on all sides, stirring occasionally.
2. Place chicken in a 3-1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker. Add undrained tomatoes, frozen vegetables, and cannellini beans. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 4 to 5 hours or on high-heat setting for 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
3. If desired, top individual servings with sour cream, shredded cheese, and/or guacamole.
