Ingredients

Scale

2–2.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
3 bell peppers (red, green, yellow), sliced
1 large onion, sliced
1 jar (16 oz) salsa (mild, medium, or hot)
1 packet or 2 tablespoons of fajita seasoning
Juice of 1 lime
Optional: garlic cloves, corn, black beans

Instructions

Place the chicken at the bottom of the slow cooker.
Add the sliced bell peppers and onion on top.
Sprinkle with fajita seasoning.
Pour salsa evenly over all ingredients.
Add lime juice.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours.
Once cooked, shred the chicken with two forks and stir everything together.

Notes

For extra heat, add jalapeños or spicy salsa.

To prevent a watery dish, avoid using too much salsa.
