Crockpot Chicken Fajitas

Crockpot chicken fajitas are just about as easy as it gets when it comes to dinner! Toss everything in to your slow cooker and walk away! 

As you all have possibly noticed, I’m a bit obsessed with Mexican flavors.

It’s true that we eat some sort of Mexican food at least once a week, but it’s usually quite a bit more often than that.

My fried tacos are a serious favorite among everyone who’s tried them. Have you made them yet??

We also love enchiladas (like this chicken enchilada casserole!), burritos, and fajitas!

This crockpot chicken fajita recipe is totally easy and one we’ve been making for years. I love that you just toss everything in the slow cooker and then walk away. Your house starts smelling divine and you come home to this amazing dinner.

These slow cooker chicken fajitas are made with just a few simple ingredients. You’ve got to try this recipe!

How to make chicken fajitas:

You could, of course, make them on the stove top or grill with sliced chicken and peppers and a little seasoning.

I’ve made them in the oven with great success, too.

But this easy chicken fajitas recipe is where it’s at!

For my crockpot chicken fajitas, you’ll start with some boneless, skinless chicken breasts and slices of bell peppers, onions, and minced garlic.

You can use any color of pepper that you have on hand – this time around, I went with red and orange. We prefer them over green, but you can do whatever you like.

Add all of those goodies, along with your favorite salsa (try my Chili’s salsa recipe), to your slow cooker and then whip up the easy chicken fajita seasoning.

Chicken fajita seasoning:

Okay, this is just as easy as a packet of seasoning and it works perfectly in this chicken fajita recipe.

You’ll just combine paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper in a little bowl and then sprinkle it in the slow cooker.

Because we’re also seasoning our fajitas with salsa, we don’t need a ton of spices. I like easy, don’t you?

Crock pot chicken fajitas are ready quicker than you’d think for a crock pot meal. You can do these on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-7 hours.

Please keep in mind that every slow cooker cooks differently, so if yours runs hotter or colder than mine, you’ll need to adjust your cooking time. The good news is that it’s really hard to overcook chicken in a slow cooker, so if you need to let it go longer, that’s generally no problem at all!

Be sure to try my taco casserole too! It’s a fun new take on taco night.
