Vibrant with colour and full of fresh flavours, Slow Cooker Chicken Fajitas is a fiesta on a plate. This no-fuss meal is a healthy treat and perfect to serve any day of the week.
Mix the ingredients for the fajita seasoning in a bowl.
Cut the peppers and onion into slices (1cm thick) and peel and mince the cloves of garlic. Put these in the slow cooker.
Add the chicken breasts (see recipe note 1), sugar, tomato puree and spices. Stir everything well to coat the chicken and vegetables in the mixture. Cook on high for 3 hours or low for 4 hours. If you want to reduce the amount of moisture in the pot, at 30 minutes before the end of cooking time lift and turn the lid of the slow cooker and leave it ajar.
Check that the chicken breasts are cooked through, you can either use a meat thermometer to do this (the chicken should be 75°C/165°F in the centre) or cut a piece of chicken and check it is white and hot in the centre.
Remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and slice into thick slices.
Put the pieces of chicken back into the slow cooker and stir everything together. Serve in soft flour tortilla wraps with condiments.
Notes
Add the chicken breasts into the slow cooker whole as this ensures that they retain moisture when cooking.
There are variances in the cooking times for different types and sizes of slow cooker. Cooking times given are a guide only.
