Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • Kitchen Scales
  • Chopping Board
  • Knife
  • Measuring Spoons

Ingredients

Metric - US Customary
  • 1 kg Chicken Breasts cut into bite size pieces
  • 1 Onion sliced
  • 4 Garlic Cloves peeled and chopped
  • 3 Red and or Yellow Peppers sliced
  • 2 tablespoon Tomato Puree
  • 3 tablespoon Thickening Granules

Fajita Seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon Chilli Flakes
  • 1 tablespoon Cumin
  • 1 tablespoon Smoked Paprika
  • 2 teaspoon Oregano
  • ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoon Ground Coriander
  • 1 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  • Place the sliced onion, peppers and garlic in the slow cooker basin.
    1 Onion, 4 Garlic Cloves, 3 Red and or Yellow Peppers
  • Add the chicken breast pieces on top.
    1 kg Chicken Breasts
  • Mix up the fajita seasoning in a small bowl and add this to the slow cooker with the tomato puree. Give everything a good stir.
    1 teaspoon Chilli Flakes, 1 tablespoon Cumin, 1 tablespoon Smoked Paprika, 2 teaspoon Oregano, ½ teaspoon Cinnamon, 2 teaspoon Ground Coriander, 1 teaspoon Salt, 2 tablespoon Tomato Puree
  • Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Stir in 3 tablespoon of thickening granules at the end of cooking or alternatively spoon the chicken fajita mix into a saucepan and add a cornflour paste. Bring to the boil on the hob and allow to thicken. I suggest using 2 tablespoon of cornflour with just enough water to make a paste.
    3 tablespoon Thickening Granules
