Add cooked rice, salt, oregano, pepper and cumin to the skillet and stir to mix everything together well.
Fill prepared bell peppers with the rice and chicken mixture.
Place stuffed bell pepper inside a 6 quart or larger slow cooker, standing them up so that the filling does not fall out.
Pour chicken broth over and around peppers.
Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 6 hours or until the bell peppers are tender but not falling apart.
Carefully remove cooked stuffed pepper and set them aside.
Whisk the sour cream, tomato paste, cornstarch and lemon juice into the broth in the slow cooker until smooth.
