- 1 7-oz can Green Chiles, diced
- 1 large Onion, sliced thick, divided
- 3 Bell Peppers (red, green, yellow), sliced, divided

Instructions
- Pour half of the salsa and all of the green chiles into the crock.

- Season the chicken breasts liberally with the fajita seasoning on both sides. Set the chicken on top of the peppers/onions.
- Pour the remaining salsa over the chicken breasts.
- Add the remaining bell peppers and onions. Sprinkle with salt.
- Cover and cook on High 3-4 hours, or Low 6-7 hours.
- Remove chicken and slice into strips.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the peppers & onions to a platter. Arrange the chicken strips next to them.
- There will be a fair amount of liquid left in the crock, which tastes good and makes a nice sauce to keep the fajitas moist. Use as much as you want. You can also save it and make an amazing Taco Soup with it!
