With minimal prep and just a few simple ingredients, you can have an unbeatable fiesta feast ready in no time - thanks to your slow cooker! Try this delicious chicken fajitas recipe from Morphy Richards today.
Prep time: 10 minutesCook time: 6 hrs
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients:
- 200g tinned chopped tomatoes
- 1 tbsp tomato puree
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 3 mixed colour peppers, sliced into strips
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 28 g pack fajita seasoning mix
- 500g skinless boneless chicken breast fillets
Method:
Step 1: Start by creating a flavourful base! Pour half of the chopped tomatoes into your slow cooker and stir in the tomato puree and garlic. Don't forget to season it! Layer half of the peppers and onion on top.
Step 2: Now it's time for the star of the show - the chicken! Place the chicken on top of the pepper layer. Sprinkle the fajita seasoning mix over the chicken breasts. Then, add the remaining chopped tomatoes, peppers, and onion. Set your slow cooker to low, put the lid on, and let it cook for 4-6 hours until the chicken is tender.
Step 3: Want to thicken the cooking liquid for an extra indulgent touch? Simply strain the liquid into a pan, bring it to a boil, and reduce it until it thickens. This step is optional but highly recommended. Once thickened, mix it back in with the chicken.
Step 4: Finally, shred the chicken into large pieces using two forks, and serve it alongside your favourite fajita accompaniments. Get ready for a flavour-packed meal that will impress everyone at the table!
