Ingredients

  • 3 bell peppers sliced (I used red, orange and yellow)
  • 1 medium white onion sliced
  • 2 seeded and deveined jalapenos diced
  • 1 pint grape tomatoes halved
  • 2 1/2 - 3 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts cut in half (longways)
  • 3 tablespoons homemade taco seasoning
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 lime

Homemade Taco Seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon New Mexico chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Add half of the peppers, onions, jalapenos and tomatoes to the bottom of a 5 quart slow cooker.
  • Layer chicken on top of vegetables. Sprinkle 1/2 of taco seasoning over chicken breasts and flip them over. Season the other side with the remaining 1/2 of seasoning.
  • Add garlic and remaining jalepenos on top of chicken. Then add remaining vegetables. Squeeze lime juice over top. Cover and cook on high 3-4 hours or low for 6-8 hours.
  • Remove chicken from slow cooker and slice into strips. Return to slow cooker and mix with tongs. Allow to simmer in juices for 10 minutes.
  • You can drain extra liquid from slow cooker or transfer liquid to a saucepan and cook until reduce and use as a sauce on your fajitas.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

The longer it cooks the more tender it will become. If you remove it sooner, you will be able to slice it. About 3 hours on high or 6 hours on low. Longer time will yield pulled chicken, which is equally delicious. If that is what you desire, remove chicken from slow cooker after long cook time and shred with 2 forks.
