Tips for Making the Best Slow Cooker Chicken Fajita Bowls:

  • Choose the right chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are both good options for this recipe. If you use chicken breasts, you may need to cook them for a little longer than the thighs.
  • Don't overcrowd the slow cooker. If you have a large slow cooker, you can double the recipe. However, if your slow cooker is small, you may need to cook the chicken in batches.
  • Cook the chicken on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The cooking time will depend on the size and type of chicken you use.
  • Shred the chicken before serving. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. Return the chicken to the slow cooker and stir to combine with the sauce.
  • Serve the chicken fajita bowls with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include: shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and pico de gallo.

Conclusion:

Slow cooker chicken fajita bowls are an easy and delicious weeknight meal. They're also a great option for meal prep. Simply cook the chicken ahead of time and then assemble the bowls when you're ready to eat. With a few simple ingredients and a little planning, you can enjoy a healthy and flavorful meal that the whole family will love.
