PIN FOR LATER

If this looks familiar it’s because I took my most popular recipe, Slow Cooker Steak Fajitas (Low-Carb, Paleo, Whole30),  and swapped out the beef for chicken. That’s it. Other than that it’s the exact same recipe. If it ain’t broke why fix it??

Only 5 Ingredients

It’s a trick title because I’m counting on you having a fajita seasoning. If you’re going to use a store-bought fajita packet, I will not preach. HOWEVER making your own is very simple. I included my go-to fajita seasoning below. I usually triple the seasoning recipe and keep a big batch of it in my pantry at all times for occasions like this. For the bell peppers, I always use two because I like bell peppers. I used multiple colors to the pictures would be ready but 1 or 2 of the same colored bell peppers (green is usually cheapest) will work just fine. Salsa or diced tomatoes? Up to you. I use whatever I happened to have on hand.

Chicken Breast or Chicken Thighs?

Normally my go-to cut of chicken for slow cooking are chicken thighs. But…I used breasts here. I prefer my chicken breasts with my fajitas for some reason. You can make these with boneless, skinless chicken thighs. If you do, add an additional 30 minutes to an hour of cook time for the slow cooker and 1 minutes for the pressure cooker. You need to do this because dark meat takes longer to cook than white meat. Since this recipe uses chicken breasts, it’s not a recipe that can sit on the WARM setting. This will overcook the chicken and dry out the meat. When the food is done cooking, turn off the slow cooker or pressure cooker.

How To Serve The Fajitas

Really it will depend on your dietary restrictions. Regardless of how you serve this, you can’t go wrong. Serving suggestions for low-carb/keto, paleo/whole30 include lettuce wraps or in a nice burrito bowl with cauliflower rice. Of course you can always serve the fajitas the way they were meant to be served – in tortillas.  Leftovers can be reused as an enchilada filling!

    Would a can of rotel tomatoes work or do you use regular diced tomates? I plan on putting this on my menu next week and meal prepping this for the freezer as one of my freezer/crockpot meals.when I go out for surgery. Thank you for the recipe. Can’t wait to try this!!
