Slow Cooker Chicken Fajita Sliders Recipe for Game Day

The perfect weeknight family dinner or an easy game day recipe. These Slow Cooker Chicken Fajita Sliders are sure to please.

Anything made in the slow cooker is a favorite in our house. Sunday is our family game day — we watch football most of the day. With a football-loving husband and three sons, I spend my time in the kitchen preparing food everyone will enjoy. These chicken fajita sliders are easy, hands-off, and always a hit.

Food prep:

Because these are sliders, I slice the peppers and onions a bit smaller than usual. Slice them as you normally would, then cut those slices in half so they fit the slider buns without being too large.

How to make Slow Cooker Chicken Fajita Sliders:

Step one: Add chicken breasts, sliced bell peppers, diced onion, and fajita seasoning to the slow cooker. Cook on high for 3–4 hours or on low for 7–8 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Remove the chicken and shred it with two forks.

Step two: Pile the shredded chicken and vegetables onto slider buns and top with Pepper Jack or your favorite sliced cheese. If you prefer melted cheese, place the assembled sliders in a 350°F oven for 3–5 minutes until the cheese melts.
