How to Make Chicken Fajitas in an Electric Pressure Cooker

Cris here.

As I mentioned the other day, we have been working on converting some of our favorite crock pot recipes into Instant Pot recipes for those of you who enjoy using electric pressure cookers. One of my favorite weekly meals is our Crock Pot Chicken Fajitas, so the other day when I was in a pinch for time I tried it in our Instant Pot.

Are you looking for an easy recipe to make Chicken Fajitas at home? These Crock Pot Chicken Fajitas are super simple to throw into your slow cooker and very tasty.

After my initial test, I was thrilled at the time it saved but not as happy with the texture of the bell peppers– they fell a part too easily. SO, every time since then I have just made sure to cut my bell pepper slices a little bit thicker than I do for the crock pot version and the result has been perfect! I just love having this quick option for a slow cooker recipe we love so much!

I have tried this in both my 6 quart Instant Pot and my 6 quart Farberware Electric Pressure Cooker. Both times with great success.

Are you looking for more recipes for electric pressure cookers? Here is a current list of all our instant pot recipes so far. (Now as always, we are committed to only sharing electric pressure cooker recipes that we already have slow cooker versions on the site version so that those that don’t have an Instant Pot can still cook along… if you are looking for the slow cooker version of this recipe, you can find it here: Crock Pot Chicken Fajitas.

Notes on Instant Pot Chicken Fajitas

  • This recipe is NOT a slow cooker recipe. If you are looking for the slow cooker version of this recipe, you can find it here:  Crock Pot Chicken Fajitas.
  • I cut my bell pepper slices a little bit thicker than I do for the crock pot version to help them maintain a good texture. If you cut them too thin, they might fall a part.
  • We have these electric pressure cooker chicken fajitas in our 6 quart Instant Pot, Crock Pot Express, 6 quart Farberware Electric Pressure Cooker, and 6.5 quart Ninja Foodi. You can make it in any 6-8 quart electric pressure cooker.
  • If you are looking for more low carb recipes, you can find them here: Low Carb Recipes
  • If you are using an 8-quart Instant Pot, you may need to use a half cup more liquid to make sure your Instant Pot will come up to pressure.
  • You can find more electric pressure cooker recipes with our Recipe Finder.
  • Check out all our favorite recommendations for cookbooks, slow cookers and low carb essentials in our Amazon Influencer Shop.
  • As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
  • Finally, all electric pressure cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own electric pressure cooker and time adjusted as needed.
