Slow Cooked Chicken Fajita

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Continuing our Mexican theme from our last recipe, this slow cooked chicken fajita will knock your sombrero off!

Slow cooked anything is just divine in my book, and combining juicy slow cooked chicken with the amazing flavours of Mexico is right up my street.

What makes this recipe super-easy is the use of shop-bought salsa, taking all the hassle out of chopping and cooking your own.
