1 Green Pepper (Capsicum), deseeded and cut into wedges

2 Large Onions, peeled and cut into wedges

2 tsp Oil

Homemade Fajita Seasoning (or substitute with 4 tbsp store-bought fajita seasoning)

1 tsp Chili Powder

1 tsp Ground Cumin

2 tsp Paprika

1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper

1/2 tsp Garlic Powder

1 tsp Sea Salt

1 tsp Ground Black Pepper

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
Place the chicken breast, peppers, onions, oil, and all the seasoning into your slow cooker.

2. Cooking Times:

Cook on HIGH for 3 hours or on LOW for 5-6 hours.

3. Check Chicken:
Ensure the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C). Remove the chicken, slice it into strips, and return it to the slow cooker to mix with the peppers.

4. Adjust Peppers:

For softer peppers: Add them at the start of cooking.

For firmer peppers: Add them 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time.

5. Optional Tip:
Drain excess liquid if needed, as the seasoning can create strong flavors that may overpower the dish.
