Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds Boneless Chicken Breasts The main protein that absorbs all the delicious flavors.
  • 3 cups Bell Peppers (red, green, and yellow) For color, crunch, and sweetness.
  • 1 medium Onion Adds depth and sweetness to the dish.
  • 2 tablespoons Fajita Seasoning A blend of spices that brings the dish to life.
  • 2 tablespoons Lime Juice For a refreshing tang that brightens up the flavors.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Helps with cooking and adds richness.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt To enhance the overall taste.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper To enhance the overall taste.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips.
  2. Place the sliced vegetables in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  3. Season the chicken breasts with fajita seasoning, salt, and pepper; then place them over the vegetables.
  4. Drizzle with olive oil and lime juice.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and shreds easily.
  6. Once cooked, shred the chicken with two forks and mix it with the veggies.
  7. Serve warm with tortillas and your favorite toppings!

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the seasoning and lime juice overnight. Use frozen veggies if you’re short on prep time; they work just as well!
