Instructions

Place the diced tomatoes, sliced peppers, sliced onion, minced garlic, and chicken in a 6-quart or larger slow cooker.
Sprinkle the fajita seasoning and black pepper over the chicken, then pour in the lime juice.
Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for about 4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Once cooked, remove the chicken and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir to combine with the vegetables and juices.
