Main Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts thawed
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper sliced
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 1 packet fajita seasoning packet size as supplied
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth optional

Instructions
 

Cook and Serve

  • Place the thawed chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Add the sliced peppers and onion, sprinkle with the fajita seasoning, and pour in the optional broth.
  • Cover and cook on low for about 6–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours until the thickest chicken reaches 165°F. Check earlier for smaller breasts or a hotter-running cooker and stop when done.
  • Remove and shred the cooked chicken with two forks, then stir it into the vegetables and juices. Divide into six filling portions and use a slotted spoon when filling tortillas.

Notes

  • Refrigerate promptly at 40°F or below; use within 3 days.
  • Reheat cooked leftovers to 165°F on the stove or in the microwave.
  • Thaw chicken before slow-cooking; reheat chilled leftovers outside the slow cooker.
