This dish is amazingly delicious but is so simple to make your family wont believe you didn’t stand over the stove slaving away at it. Perfect for those busy school nights at my house.
You can toss the ingredients in the crock pot late morning and walk away until dinner time, couldn’t be any easier. Plus, I also like the fact that its made from scratch and not a packet of processed seasonings, the flavor is much brighter and fresher this way, and the chicken stays moist and juicy.
This recipe easily doubles or triples to feed a crowd and makes a great weeknight meal or even a Sunday dinner. It is sure to become one of the most requested dishes in your weekly menu rotation.
Crock pot Chicken Fajitas
Ingredients:
- 4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 bag of frozen onions and pepper mix
- 1 Tbsp. lime juice
- ½ tsp. Salt
- 2 tsp. Paprika
- 1 Tbsp. Cumin
- 1 Tbsp. Chili Powder
- 1 tsp. Onion flakes
- 2 tsp. Cornstarch
Directions:
Spray crock pot well with non-stick cooking spray.
Lay chicken breasts on bottom of crock pot- you can cut smaller if you want but they will cook fine this way and are easy to shred when they are ready.
Sprinkle all your seasoning and remaining ingredients over chicken.
Top with peppers and onions.
Cook on low for 4-6 hours until fork tender.
Use two forks to shred apart chicken completely.
Drain chicken before serving in tortillas.
My kids favorite part, adding their own toppings. Don’t forget to set out salsa, sour cream, fresh cilantro, and shredded cheese to top your chicken fajitas.

10/27/2014 at 9:24 amI have never thought to use the crock pot for fajitas, I usually try to make a lot of meals in there so I will have to try this. I love the Birds Eye blends, they make many of my recipes easier.

10/27/2014 at 8:28 pmThis looks delish! I do something similar for chicken tacos. The chicken always turns out perfect in the slow cooker.
Jen Temcio @dapperhouse says
10/27/2014 at 9:20 pmI cant wait to try your recipe. I have never made fajitas from chicken pulled apart. I always cook it in the pan, but I cant wait to change it up a bit!
Alison M. says
10/28/2014 at 9:06 amThis looks easy to make. And it seems to be more healthier. I am going to try it this weekend.
