Ingredients
2 lbs Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3 large multi-colored bell peppers, sliced into strips
1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 packet fajita seasoning
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
Instructions
Slice the bell peppers and onions into uniform strips to ensure even cooking.
Place the sliced vegetables into the bottom of the crockpot to create an aromatic base.
Arrange the chicken breasts on top of the vegetable bed.
Sprinkle the fajita seasoning evenly over the chicken and vegetables, drizzling with olive oil if using.
Cover and cook on high for 3 hours until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Remove the chicken, slice or shred it, and return it to the pot to toss with the cooked vegetables and juices.
Finish by stirring in the fresh lime juice before serving in bowls.
Notes
Ensure chicken reaches 165°F for food safety. You can serve these bowls over cilantro-lime rice, cauliflower rice, or in warm flour tortillas for added variety. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
