Crockpot Chicken Fajitas

Crockpot chicken fajitas is one of my favorite slow cooker recipes. No need to fire up the oven or the grill. The slow cooker does all of the work!

How to make crockpot chicken fajitas

• Cut bell peppers and onions into thin strips. Lay them on the bottom of slow cooker.
• Place chicken breasts on top of vegetables and then cover the chicken with fajita spice blend.
• Dump can of tomatoes with green chilis on top of the chicken. Cover the slow cooker and cooker either on high for 3-4 hours or low 6-8 hours.
• Once the chicken has cooked either cut into strips or shred.

Fajita Seasoning Blend

I made my own fajita seasoning blend for this crockpot chicken recipe but you could also use a premade blend.

• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

How to serve crockpot fajitas

There are a number of ways to use this flavorful chicken and peppers. Of course in a flour tortilla with all of the fixins but I also love topping a bowl of brown, white rice or Spanish rice with the chicken mixture for a fajita bowl. Use it for a quesadilla or a burrito, the possibilities are endless.
