Crockpot Chicken Fajitas

This chicken fajita crockpot recipe is one of my favorite Mexican food and we serve this with a side of corn on the cob, Mac n Cheese and Fruit Salsa for a perfect meal!

Making chicken fajitas in the slow cooker produces a special sweetness that you won’t get from the traditional chicken fajitas cooked in a skillet. The boneless and skinless chicken breast and veggies will soak up all the tasty flavors! Simply add all the ingredients into the crock pot in the morning and you will come home with the delicious aroma filling your whole home!

Fajita Seasoning

These slow cooker fajitas are flavored with fajita seasoning. While you can buy fajita seasoning packets, I find it’s best to make your own homemade seasoning and adjust the flavor to your preference. Taco seasoning is also a good alternative for this recipe.

How to Make Slow Cooker Fajitas

This slow cooker chicken fajitas takes less than 10 minutes to prepare in the morning and you will come home with tasty dinner ready!

  • To make this Crockpot Chicken Fajitas, start by mixing all ingredients for fajita seasoning in a small bowl.
  • Add half can of diced tomatoes into the crockpot, followed by half of the sliced bell peppers and onions into the crockpot.
  • Sprinkle 1/2 of the fajita seasoning on top. Add Chicken breasts on top of the vegetables, and sprinkle another 1/2 of the fajita seasoning.
  • Top with the rest of diced tomatoes and add the rest bell peppers and onions. Then seal the lid of the crockpot.

You can cook it on HIGH for 3-4 hours, or LOW for 6-8 hours. When it’s done, you can either cut the chicken into strips for crockpot chicken strips fajitas or shred it for shredded chicken fajitas. It’s very tasty either way. Serve them in tortilla shells with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa and cilantro!

Any standard size slow cooker (4-8 quart) would work for most recipes. You can get one like this.
