Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast Trim any visible fat for a cleaner broth.
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced Yellow or white onion can be used.
  • 1 medium bell pepper, thinly sliced Any color can be used.
  • 1 packet fajita seasoning Store-bought or homemade.
  • 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies Optional; adds moisture and heat.
  • to taste Tortillas for serving Flour or corn tortillas can be used.
  • to taste Toppings (shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado) All optional.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place the chicken breasts in an even layer across the bottom of the slow cooker.
  2. Scatter the sliced onion and bell pepper over the chicken, spreading evenly.
  3. Sprinkle the fajita seasoning across the top. If you prefer a saucier result, pour the can of diced tomatoes with green chilies over everything.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until the chicken is tender and shreds easily.
  2. Remove the lid and shred the chicken with two forks directly in the cooker.
  3. Stir the shredded chicken into the peppers and onions so the flavors combine. Let it sit on warm for 10 minutes to absorb juices.
  4. Serve the mixture in warmed tortillas with desired toppings.
