Time on High: 2 to 3 hours Time on Low: 4 hours I incorporated all of the flavors of your standard Mexican Fajita and turned it into a one pot wonder! The chicken is stuffed with diced onions, green peppers, jalapeno and queso fresco. Braised in chicken broth and a white wine reduction. On top of the chicken a chutney made up of granny smith apples, pickled jalapenos, onions and green peppers that bring all of the flavors together.
