Instructions
Slow Cooker Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to the slow cooker.
- Chicken Fajitas are typically served in strips. For chicken that you can slice into strips, cook on High for 2-3 hours or on Low for 4-6 hours until the chicken is fully cooked.For shredded chicken, Cook on High for 4 hours or on Low for 6-8 hours.
- Open the pot and slice or shred the chicken if preferred. Return it to the pot and serve.
Instant Pot Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to the Instant Pot.
- Close the pot and seal. Cook on Manual High-Pressure for 10 minutes.
- When the pot indicates it has finished, allow the steam to release naturally for 10 minutes instead of quick release.
- Open the pot. Remove the chicken and shred if preferred. Add it back to the pot and serve.
Notes
- You can use chicken thighs in this recipe with no adjustment to cook time.
- Feel free to grab a rotisserie chicken and/or use fully cooked chicken. If using cooked chicken combine the ingredients and heat/cook until warm.
