Very easy, yummy, and inexpensive. Found this in the, "Simple 1-2-3 Cookbook." If you want to make the sauce thicker, you can blend 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water until smooth and stir into cooking liquid when the ketchup, cumin, and salt is added. Hope you guys enjoy this one!

Tips:

Prep your ingredients in advance: Dice the chicken, chop the onions and bell peppers, and mince the garlic before you start cooking. This will save you time and ensure that all of your ingredients are cooked evenly.
Use a large slow cooker: This recipe makes a lot of food, so you'll need a slow cooker that's at least 6 quarts in size.
Don't overcrowd the slow cooker: Make sure that there's enough space for the chicken and vegetables to cook evenly. If you overcrowd the slow cooker, the food will steam instead of roast.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours: This will give the chicken time to cook through and the vegetables time to soften.
Serve with your favorite toppings: Chicken Mexicali is delicious served with rice, beans, tortillas, or chips. You can also top it with shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.
