Step-by-Step Instructions for Crockpot Chicken Fajitas
- Begin by preparing your ingredients for the Crockpot Chicken Fajitas. Slice the chicken breast into 1-inch strips, then thinly slice your red, yellow, and green bell peppers along with the yellow onion. Mince the garlic cloves for that aromatic touch. Lay everything out on your countertop to ensure an organized cooking process as you layer these vibrant ingredients into the slow cooker.
- In your 6-quart slow cooker, pour half of the chosen salsa into the base, creating a flavorful foundation. Next, add half of the sliced bell peppers and half of the onion, followed by all the minced garlic.
- Evenly distribute the sliced chicken strips over the vegetable layer in the crockpot. Sprinkle the fajita seasoning and chili powder over the chicken, gently mixing it with the veggies.
- Pour the remaining salsa over the chicken, ensuring every piece is tucked under the sauce for moisture. Top off your creation with the remaining bell peppers and onions.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice evenly over the top of the mixed ingredients in your slow cooker.
- Cover the crockpot with its lid and set the temperature to low for 6 to 8 hours or high for 3 to 4 hours.
- Once the cooking time is complete, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crockpot. Mix the shredded chicken into the flavorful sauce and vegetables.
- After shredding, keep the crockpot set to warm until you're ready to serve.
