Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Start by slicing the chicken breasts into 1-inch strips and chopping the red, yellow, and green bell peppers into thin strips. Next, thinly slice the large yellow onion and mince the six garlic cloves.
  2. Pour half of the 24 oz salsa into the bottom of your slow cooker, spreading it evenly.
  3. Layer half of the sliced bell peppers and half of the sliced onion on top of the salsa. Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the veggies.
  4. Add the sliced chicken strips directly on top of the vegetables. Sprinkle fajita seasoning and chili powder over the chicken and mix gently.
  5. Pour the remaining salsa over the chicken, then layer the remaining bell peppers and onion. Squeeze lime juice over the mixture.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until the chicken is cooked through.
  7. Once cooked, shred the chicken right in the pot and stir it into the mixture. Keep warm until ready to serve.
