Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 3 bell peppers, sliced (use varied colors)
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons 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
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth or water
  • Tortillas and desired toppings for serving

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts or thighs into the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Arrange the sliced bell peppers and onion over the chicken. Sprinkle the minced garlic on top.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, cumin, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. This is your simple fajita seasoning.
  4. Sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over the chicken and vegetables. Drizzle the olive oil over everything.
  5. Pour the chicken broth or water around the edges of the slow cooker.
  6. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours.
  7. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir to combine with the juices and vegetables.
  8. Serve the tender slow cooker chicken fajitas immediately with warm tortillas and your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For the best texture, cook on the LOW setting.
  • If you prefer a slightly charred flavor, transfer the cooked chicken and vegetables to a baking sheet and broil for 3-5 minutes before serving.
  • This recipe is great for meal prep; store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to four days.
