Place chopped onion, garlic, red bell pepper, jalapeno pepper, ground cumin and chipotle pepper into the bottom of a crockpot.
Cover this mixture with brown rice and boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
Pour diced tomatoes, with juices, and chicken broth over the chicken breasts.
Turn the crockpot to Low and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 8 hours.

Serve with chopped avocado, tortilla chips and sour cream, if desired.
