Instructions

Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
Sprinkle the fajita seasoning evenly over the chicken.
Add the sliced peppers and onions on top.
Pour the jar of salsa over everything.
Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Shred the chicken with two forks and stir to mix with the salsa and veggies.

Serve in tortillas, over rice, or on top of a salad.

Notes

Use frozen chicken breasts if needed, just add an extra hour to the cook time.
Great for meal prep — store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Use a homemade fajita seasoning if you prefer a lower-sodium option.
