Guess what? Today is the day we finally get the recipe ball rolling with a new slow cooker recipe. Super simple Slow Cooker Chicken Fajitas that only need a few ingredients and take just a few minutes to prep!
First you’ll need a slow cooker and optional liner to make clean up even easier. Next you’ll need your vegetables. You can chop up some fresh bell peppers and an onion or keep it simple and just buy a bag of frozen fajita vegetables.
Dump half of your vegetables into your slow cooker then follow with 3 pounds of fat trimmed chicken breast, 1/2 packet of fajita or taco seasoning mix, an ounce of lime juice, tablespoon of honey, tablespoon of minced garlic, can of diced tomatoes, and the other half of your fajita vegetables.
Lightly mix those up and throw your slow cooker on high for 3 hours. After 3 hours your chicken breast should be ready to shred so go ahead and do that then continue cooking on low heat for an hour.
Don’t forget to check all of our other slow cooker recipes out. We even have a higher carb Slow Cooker Chicken Fajitas recipe!
You can add this recipe to pretty much anything. Quinoa, rice, low carb wraps, or keep it traditional and throw some in a tortilla with your favorite toppings!

Do you think this would freeze well? We have a lot of leftovers. Delicious, thanks!
Awesome! Yes, you can definitely freeze it.
Awesome recipe. Be careful though it is very easy to over rest because you’ll always want another helping.
Is it possible to add rice and beans to the cooking process or would it be easier to
cook them separate and add them after the fact?
Hi Joe! You could likely add them in 20-30 minutes before you’re done cooking everything but I wouldn’t cook them with the recipe the entire time. Hope that helps and thanks for the awesome feedback!
This turned out very nicely. I served it over wild rice and roasted corn. My husband and I really enjoyed it and appreciated the nutritional value.

Hey Sallie! You rock, thank you so much for the awesome rating (one of the first since adding them)! Glad you both enjoyed it!
