Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 3 bell peppers, sliced (mixed colors)
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, 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

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts or thighs into the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, cumin, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the fajita seasoning blend.
  3. Sprinkle the seasoning blend evenly over the chicken.
  4. Add the sliced bell peppers, sliced onion, minced garlic, and olive oil over the chicken and seasonings. Pour the chicken broth over everything.
  5. Secure the lid on the slow cooker. 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 shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  7. Stir the shredded chicken, peppers, and onions together with the cooking liquid until everything is coated.
  8. If you prefer a slightly charred texture, transfer the chicken and vegetable mixture to a baking sheet and broil on high for 3 to 5 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  9. Serve immediately with warm tortillas and your preferred toppings.

Notes

  • For the best texture, shred the chicken after cooking, but do not overcook the chicken to maintain tenderness.
  • This recipe is great for meal prep; store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to four days.
  • Serve with warm tortillas for classic tacos, or over rice or lettuce for a low carb crockpot fajitas option.
