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.

Thanks for this. I was just talking to my hubs that our life is kinda crazy right now and we need to bring out the crockpot. This is going on my menu list.

I 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.
These look great! I love using the crock pot in the Fall and Winter and this isn’t your traditional recipe! Thank you!!

I LOVE fajitas and I’ve never tried them in a crock pot. So this will be our next meal on a busy night! Great recipe!
I love crockpot meals. And these look so delicious. My hubby would love them.
This looks delish! I do something similar for chicken tacos. The chicken always turns out perfect in the slow cooker.
I 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!
This looks easy to make. And it seems to be more healthier. I am going to try it this weekend.
This is definitely my kind of dinner! Thanks for linking up with What’s Cookin’ Wednesday!
