Braised chicken with vegetables in a multicooker
Description
Essentially, this is a simplified version of the popular Mexican dish called "Fajitas." The multicooker greatly simplifies the cooking process and reduces preparation time, while keeping the vegetables and chicken more nutritious and juicy. This recipe serves a large group, so there will be leftovers for tomorrow too.
