Instructions

  • Slice onions and peppers. (I used half of each color of pepper, but you are welcome to just use all green, all red or a combination of the colors available to you.)
    Sliced red, green, and yellow bell peppers alongside red onion on a wooden cutting board, ready for the perfect stuffed peppers recipe. A green cloth is partially visible.
  • Add onions and peppers to a large bowl. Toss with olive oil and ⅔ of the fajita seasoning. Set aside.
    A hand pours liquid into a bowl containing sliced red onions and vibrant yellow and red bell peppers, preparing them as the colorful filling for mouth-watering stuffed peppers.
  • Spray a cold crockpot with nonstick cooking spray and add the chicken. Sprinkle with remaining fajita seasoning.
    Raw chicken pieces, bursting with the vibrant flavors of orange spices, simmer gently inside a slow cooker alongside tender stuffed peppers.
  • Top chicken with onions and peppers. Cover and cook on high for 2-3 hours or until chicken is thoroughly cooked and peppers have softened (but not mushy).
    Sliced red and yellow bell peppers seasoned, cooked, and resembling the vibrant filling of stuffed peppers, placed in a grey pot on a checkered cloth.
  • Shred chicken and serve with tortillas and any other desired fajita toppings: tomatoes, salsa, avocado, guacamole, rice, beans, cilantro.
