Quinoa Chicken Chili

Lately I've been so busy and loving my crock pot.  Wasn't sure what to do with a couple chicken breasts I had taken out of freezer.  Being short on time I found this recipe...turned out great, easy and the kids loved it too!:)

1 cup quinoa ( will cut back on this next time)
1x28 oz can crushed tomatoes
1x 14 oz can diced tomatoes
2 jalapeƱos, chopped
1 yellow pepper, chopped 
1x 16 oz can black beans ( had lentils on hand which worked)
3 cups water 
2 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts
2 cloves crushed garlic 
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp crushed red pepper
1 1/2 tsp cumin
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp Himilayan salt

1.  Put all in 6 qrt slow cooker on low setting.  Cook 5-7 hours.
2.  Remove chicken breasts and shred.  Return to slow cooker to keep warm until ready to serve.
3.  Garnish with 1 tbsp plain greek yogurt if desired!
