Easy Veggie Packed Dinner: Fajita Slow Cooker Chicken

Easy Veggie Packed Dinner: Fajita Slow Cooker Chicken

We've been trying to eat more veggies around here, as I mentioned last week. Since my slow cooker is the go-to dinner maker around here, I've been trying to come up with some fresh ideas. Fajita Slow Cooker Chicken seemed like a winner as it's packed with loads of peppers and onions.

To give it a fun fresh look for the season, I used three different colored peppers. The beauty is that you can use whichever peppers are convienint. I opted for green, red and orange. Came in a affordable multi-pack at my grocery store. Adding freshly cut vegetables to a slow cooker dish ads a lot of juice that's perfect for making a well rounded meal. Last week, I had fun making fresh mango salsa chicken for the slow cooker too. If you're looking to pack a lot of punch with fresh produce, that recipe is a must try too.

Hope you enjoy this simple but tasty recipe!
