Preparation

Combine broth, quinoa, corn, red bell pepper, BBQ sauce, onion, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, and liquid smoke in the bottom of crockpot and stir together until well mixed.

Nestle chicken breasts into the mixture, so that the liquid covers them. Season with salt and pepper. Cook on high heat for 2–3 hours, or until broth is absorbed and chicken is no longer pink inside.

Remove chicken breasts and shred with two forks. Place shredded chicken pack into the slow cooker and mix well.

Garnish with additional BBQ sauce, cilantro, green onions and cheddar cheese (if desired). Devour!
