Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 bell peppers (any colors you prefer—red, green, yellow)
  • 1 medium onion
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
Spices
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
For Serving
  • Flour or corn tortillas For serving
  • Optional toppings: avocados, cilantro, salsa, or shredded cheese

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips for even cooking. Cut the chicken breasts into manageable pieces if they’re large.
Combine Spices
  1. In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Layer in Crockpot
  1. Place the chicken at the base of the crockpot. Follow with the sliced peppers and onions. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle the spice blend over the top. Toss to coat evenly.
Cooking
  1. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken should be tender and shred easily with a fork.
Shredding and Serving
  1. Before serving, shred the chicken with two forks directly in the crockpot. Mix everything well for the flavors to blend together. Serve in warm tortillas with your choice of toppings!

Notes

For a Halal-friendly alternative, you can use turkey breast instead of chicken or add more vegetables like zucchini for a veggie-packed version. If you have leftovers, allow the Healthy Crockpot Chicken Fajitas to cool completely before transferring them into an airtight container. They can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months. For reheating, the stovetop works best to revive both the flavor and texture.
