How to Make Easy Crockpot Chicken Fajitas
  1. Start by placing the chicken breasts in the slow cooker, laying them flat and spaced apart to ensure even cooking.
  2. Gently layer the sliced red and green bell peppers and onion on top of the chicken, creating a colorful and aromatic base.
  3. Sprinkle the fajita seasoning evenly over the entire mixture, ensuring all ingredients are coated in that zesty goodness.
  4. If you’re using diced tomatoes, add them on top of the seasoning for added moisture and flavor.
  5. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the mixture according to your taste preferences.
  6. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is tender.
  7. Once fully cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces, mixing it with the peppers and onions.
  8. Spoon the savory mixture into gluten-free tortillas, adding your favorite toppings, and enjoy!
