1 packet (1 oz) fajita seasoning mix
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon olive oil
Juice of 1 lime
Instructions
Place the sliced onion and bell peppers in the bottom of your slow cooker.
Place the chicken breasts on top of the vegetables.
In a small bowl, mix the fajita seasoning with the chicken broth and olive oil. Pour this mixture over the chicken.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours.
Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir to coat it with the juices.

Serve the filling in warm tortillas or over rice.
Notes
For extra flavor, add 1 teaspoon of ground cumin to the seasoning mix.
If you prefer less liquid, use only 1/4 cup of chicken broth.
