Ingredients

Scale
  • 2.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 3 bell peppers (mixed colors), sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth or water
  • Tortillas, for serving
  • Your favorite toppings (salsa, sour cream, cheese)

Instructions

  1. Place the sliced onion and bell peppers in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Place the chicken breasts on top of the vegetables.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, cumin, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper to create the simple fajita seasoning.
  4. Sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over the chicken. Drizzle with olive oil and pour the chicken broth around the edges.
  5. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  6. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and place it on a cutting board. Use two forks to shred the chicken, or slice it against the grain.
  7. Return the shredded or sliced chicken to the slow cooker and stir it well with the peppers and onions to coat everything in the juices.
  8. Serve immediately with warm tortillas and your chosen toppings for an easy meal prep fajita filling.

Notes

  • For the most tender chicken, cook on the LOW setting.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the lid for the last 30 minutes of cooking time on HIGH.
  • This recipe works well for freezer meal prep; cool and store the chicken mixture in airtight containers.
