Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 6 hours 10 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients

• 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 (14.5 oz) can petite diced tomatoes with green chilies
• 3 bell peppers (1 red, 1 yellow, 1 green), cored and sliced
• 1 large yellow onion, halved and sliced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 ½ tsp chili powder
• 2 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp paprika
• ¾ tsp ground coriander (or substitute oregano)
• 1 tsp salt
• ¾ tsp black pepper
• 2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
• 1 Tbsp honey

For serving:
12 (6-inch) flour tortillas, cilantro, sour cream, salsa, guacamole or sliced avocados, shredded Mexican cheese (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1 – Layer the base:
Pour half of the canned tomatoes into the bottom of your slow cooker and spread into an even layer. Add half of the sliced peppers and onions, followed by the minced garlic. Place the chicken breasts on top.

Step 2 – Season the chicken:
In a small bowl, whisk together chili powder, cumin, paprika, coriander, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle half over the chicken, flip the chicken, and season the other side.

Step 3 – Add remaining ingredients:
Top with the remaining tomatoes, then layer on the rest of the peppers and onions.

Step 4 – Cook the fajitas:
Cover and cook on LOW for 4–6 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.

Step 5 – Shred and flavor:
Remove the chicken and slice or shred it. Ladle out about 1 cup of liquid from the slow cooker (mostly tomato broth) and discard. Whisk together lime juice and honey, then add it to the slow cooker along with the shredded chicken. Gently toss to combine.

Step 6 – Serve and enjoy:
Serve warm in tortillas with your favorite toppings such as cheese, sour cream, salsa, guacamole, or cilantro. 🌮

Tip: For tender-crisp bell peppers, wait until the last 30 minutes of cooking to add them.
