Crock-pot Fajitas is whats for dinner!

Photobucket


I am usually busy with my 14 month old all day and trying to get things done before my LO gets home from school. So, by the time dinner comes I end up rushing around to get something tasty on the table before bath time and bed again. After coming across a friends post on FB talking about her crock-pot dinners, it inspired me to whip out the crock-pot, throw in my ingredients and forget about dinner all day. Here is what I made.... Chicken Fajitas.... Yummmmmmy.

Ingredients:
5 boneless skinless chicken breasts (can be frozen)
2 bags of frozen peppers & onions (OR two bell peppers, any color and an onion sliced in strips)
1 package of fajita seasoning
about a tablespoon or two of lime juice

How To:
Place veggies on bottom of pot, put chicken on top, sprinkle package of fajita seasoning on top and then squeeze lime juice over everything. Turn on crock-pot for 6-8 hours depending on your crock-pot and the time you have.

SO, SO yummy, the chicken pulls apart so easily the peppers are melty in the mouth. I could put this in a burrito shell, taco shell or on salad. It's also fairly low in calories, and you could make it even more diet-friendly by using a diet product like the Sensa weight loss! It was wonderful to get my girls in bed at a decent hour tonight.

What do you like to make in the crock-pot?

I love anything in a slow cooker and if you say mexican food to my family you have a winner, so I can't wait to try this. Thank you for the recipe

I was just given a crock pot. I love how I can just fill it and not have to think of what to make for supper come mid-afternoon. This recipe is super simple. Thanks!

Oh this sounds great and I think I could make it gluten free as long as I could find a fajita package that was gluten free. Sounds wonderful though and a great change for us!
thanks for the idea and recipe!

This looks great, I love using my crock pot. I like to make roasts, soups, and sloppy joes in mine. I'll have to add this to the list.

This sounds great and really easy. However I cannot stand mushy mushy peppers. Perhaps I'll leave mine out and just sautee them. Thanks for the recipe!
