How to Make It
Step 1
To your crockpot, add the tomatoes, 3 tbsp lemon juice, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, melted butter, salt, and pepper. Whisk to combine. Thinly slice the onion and add it to the crockpot.

Once the chicken is cooked, shred it into bite-size pieces using 2 forks. Preheat your oven’s broiler to 200 C/ 400 F. Top the chicken with the grated cheese and place the pot in the oven. Cook in the oven for 10 minutes or until the cheese is golden.
Step 4
To a small bowl, add the sour cream, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and lemon zest. Whisk to combine. Thinly slice the green onion, and mix it in.
