These Slow Cooker Chicken Fajitas are healthy and tasty, and as the days get longer and warmer we’re spending more time outside and I’m looking to spend less time cooking, and less time with the oven and stove off. Keeping the heat out of the house, the slow cooker is the perfect solution.
Slow Cooker Chicken Fajitas
My favorite part of this meal is the colors of my peppers, and peppers in general. I love them. Slice them to the size perfect for your family. For hubby and I sliced like this is good, but I also sliced these through the middle for my kids.
Pour some tomato over the bottom of your slow cooker, layer some peppers over the tomato and top with your chicken breasts. Season the tops of your chicken.
Add remaining tomato and peppers. Cook on low for 6-7 hours. Shred or slice your chicken.
Remove 1- 1 -1/2 cups of the liquid, the juice from the tomato and peppers cooking. Mix together the lime juice and honey, then add to your slow cooker. Put your chicken back in. Mix carefully then serve how you’d like.
Chicken Fajitas are great on warm tortilla shells. But its also great the next day if you have left overs but run out of shells served over rice or pasta.
