Description

Learn how to make simple and healthy Crock Pot Chicken Fajitas! This slow cooker recipe is packed with tender chicken, vibrant bell peppers, and savory spices, making it a perfect easy dinner for the whole family.


Ingredients

  • 1 10 oz can of Rotel
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 3 cups sliced bell pepper (cut in strips)
  • ½ cup diced onion
  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • ¼ cup low sodium taco seasoning
  • limes for serving

Instructions

  1. Step: In a 6-8 quart crockpot, mix Rotel, honey, and garlic.
  2. Step: Layer the bell peppers and onion in the crockpot over the Rotel mixture.
  3. Step: Layer the chicken breasts over the vegetables and coat with taco seasoning.
  4. Step: Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4 hours. The chicken’s internal temperature should be at least 165 degrees and easy to break apart.
  5. Step: Using forks or a shredding tool, shred the chicken and mix with peppers and Rotel mixture.

For best results, cut onions and bell peppers into uniform strips to ensure even cooking. You can shred the chicken easily by placing cooked breasts in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment on low speed.
