Ingredients in our Easy Chicken Fajitas

• Bell peppers: Feel free to mix up different bell pepper colors here. It’ll give you a nice variety of flavors.
• Onion: A fresh onion is necessary. Onion powder doesn’t give the fajitas the necessary crunch and flavor they need.
• Garlic: Fresh garlic is best – your taste buds will appreciate this. If you are in a pinch you could use pre-minced garlic or garlic powder, but it won’t be nearly as flavorful.
• Chicken breasts: We use skinless chicken breasts. Be sure to cut the chicken breasts in half. This will help cut down on cooking time.
• Diced tomatoes
• Paprika
• Chili powder: If you prefer a bit more spice, increase the amount of chili powder or use a small pinch of cayenne pepper.
• Oregano
• Cumin
• Lime juice: Fresh lime juice really brings the flavors of the chicken fajitas and spices together.
• Salt & Pepper: to taste
• Optional tortillas: two 6-inch corn tortillas, or one 6-inch whole wheat flour tortilla.
• Favorite fajita toppings: I love to top my fajitas with avocado, sour cream, and shredded cheese. Be sure to adjust your container counts or SmartPoints if you add in any optional toppings to our easy recipe. 

How to make Easy Chicken Fajitas in the Crockpot

1. Slice the bell peppers, chop the onion, and then smash and peel the garlic cloves. Next, place the garlic, peppers and onion at the bottom of your slow cooker.
2. Cut the chicken breasts in half and place chicken on top of the veggies. Season chicken with paprika, chili powder, oregano, and cumin. Salt & pepper to taste.
3. Drain the can of diced tomatoes and then add the tomatoes to the top of the chicken.
4. Place the lid on the crockpot to cover and cook on high heat for 2 hours, or on low heat for 3-4 hours until the chicken is cooked through.
5. When the cook time is done, remove and shred chicken with two forks. You can also slice the chicken, if you prefer.
6. Place the chicken back into the crockpot and stir in the lime juice.
7. Serve on warm tortillas or rice and enjoy!

Recipe tips

• Optional toppings are avocado, sour cream, or shredded cheese. Make sure to adjust your container counts or SmartPoints if you add in any optional ingredients. 
• If you’d like to use a store bought taco or fajita seasoning packet instead of the stated seasonings, you’ll need to make sure it’s approved if you follow any Beachbody programs. We prefer to use our homemade taco seasoning or homemade fajita seasoning when possible.
• You can easily double the recipe without changing the cooking time. If your slow cooker seems overloaded, you might want to rearrange the chicken at some point and take an internal temperature reading to be sure that they’re done cooking. Chicken needs to cook to 165º F to be safe, so make sure it reaches that temperature before you eat it.
• This recipe makes about 8 servings, so it’s a great one for meal prep! Once the chicken is cooked, you can freeze it in an airtight container or put it into meal prep containers for use later in the week.
