Slow Cooker Chicken Fajitas
Good fajitas are all about properly tender onions and peppers. Cooking the veggies down on the stovetop can take a good long time. A slow cooker takes longer, but you don't need to stand over it stirring, and with this method that cooks the chicken in with the meat, your meat will be beautifully tender too.
