5 Ingredient Chicken Fajita Stew

Servings: 4
Calories: 288kcal

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken boneless and skinless
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 14 oz package Trader Joe's "Fire Roaster Peppers and Onions"
  • 2 cups chicken broth or water
  • 1 tbsp Kouzini Picante Sweet Chipotle" spice blend
  • pinch salt & pepper

Instructions

  • Add the chicken to the bottom of a slow cooker and cover with salsa.  Cook on "low" for 6-8 hours.
  • Use two forks to break up the chicken into bite-sized shreds.
  • Stir in the pepper & onion mixture, chicken broth, and spices, and cook for an additional 30 minutes on "high".  Feel free to add more liquid to your preference.
  • Serve hot, topped with avocado or cilantro, or just as it is!  Enjoy!

Notes

  • I used 1 lb of chicken breasts, 1 lb of thighs.  You could use whatever cut you like!
  • Either red or green salsa will work great!  I used green in the pictures above.
  • Chicken bone broth is our favorite nutrient-dense ingredient~  but water makes a great substitute if you're in a pinch and don't have any broth on hand.
  • Although I love & recommend the Kouzini spices, feel free to substitute any Mexican or chipotle spice blend you have on hand.  You could also combine a mixture of cumin, paprika, and chili powder to make your own.
