Happy Foodie Friday everyone! Who is getting tired of boring chicken? Today I have a recipe that will switch things up from your normal chicken cooking routine and give you a crock-pot recipe to try out for the family!

This is the perfect recipe when looking for somethings simple and with minimal ingredients. Slow Cooker Fajita Salsa Chicken is a great meal to make for the family or to also meal prep for the week!

Ingredients:
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs
1-2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
1-2 medium bell peppers, thinly sliced
1 16-oz jar of salsa (any brand you like)
½ teaspoon of salt
Juice of 1 lime

Instructions:
1. Add the chicken, onions, peppers, about 2/3 of the salsa, and salt to a slow cooker and stir to combine
2. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6, until the chicken and vegetables are very tender
3. Uncover and remove the chicken to a cutting board. Shred with two forks
4. If there is a lot of liquid in the slow cooker you can drain some of it off or leave it all in, depending on the consistency you want. Add the chicken back, the remaining salsa, and lime juice. Stir everything together and taste. Add additional salt and lime juice if you’d like and ENJOY!
