  5. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

Notes

📌 Choosing the Right Chicken:

  • Chicken breasts work best for a lean, tender texture.
  • Chicken thighs add extra juiciness due to their higher fat content.

📌 Preventing Watery Fajitas:

  • Drain excess liquid before serving for the best fajita texture.
  • Use less broth if you prefer a drier consistency.

📌 Making it Low-Carb & Keto:

  • Swap tortillas for lettuce wraps or serve over cauliflower rice.
  • Reduce diced tomatoes to lower the carb content.

📌 How to Store & Reheat:

  • Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze for up to 3 months in a sealed freezer bag.
  • Reheat on the stovetop with a splash of broth for best results.

📌 Spicy or Mild?

  • Add jalapeños, cayenne pepper, or hot sauce for extra heat.
  • For a milder version, reduce the chili powder and black pepper.

🌟 Pro Tip: Serve with guacamole, sour cream, shredded cheese, and salsa for the ultimate fajita experience! 😋🔥
