Suggest a better descriptionThrow your peppers and onions into the bottom of your crockpot (grease it first) and put your chicken breast on top. I left mine whole because I knew I was going to shred it. I just like shredded chicken. Most fajita recipes tell you to slice the chicken…..and you can do that if you like, but I like to be different……or weird. One of those.
Pour 1/4 to ½ cup of chicken broth over the ingredients. Normally you don’t add water to a crock pot recipe, but I wanted to make sure there was plenty of moisture down in there. It really helps the chicken be nice and moist….no one likes tough chicken.
Sprinkle the chicken with the chili powder, cumin, and salt. I love cumin…..I use it regularly. It will seem like a lot of seasoning, but it’s really not. It’s just right.*NOTE – see recipe for other seasoning options.*If you want to use a pre-made seasoning, try Holgrain Fajita Seasoning from Vitacost - it’s free of MSG and non-GMO.Use my affiliate link for $10 off your first $30 order!
You’ll need to squirt lime juice over the top of the chicken. I just used bottled lime juice since I didn’t have any fresh limes. If you do, you’re totally tubular. It was probably one or two tablespoons that I squeezed in there. It really gives it a great flavor. I should grow a lime tree. I should grow any tree……actually, I should just grow SOMETHING.
You’re going to cover the crockpot and let it cook on low for 4-8 hours (depending on the cut of chicken used). It’s going to make your house smell good all day long. You’ll get belly growls. Your child will chant “Yum, yum!” all day long. Your neighbors will come knocking.Instead of standing around and twiddling your thumbs, waiting for it to be done, why don’t you make up a batch of homemade cleaner and attack the floor? I hear that works for some people.
It will look like this when it’s done. Yes, I realize this looks nothing like something you would want to serve for dinner. It looks like something that’s been on the buffet line too long. It’s not burned…..it just looks burned. Well, I hope yours isn’t burned. Mine wasn’t.
Shred your meat with two forks and then it will look lovely and delicious like this. Oh yeah, baby. Come to Mama! Stir the meat back down into the juices and veggies. Serve it with a slotted spoon. I used my spaghetti spoon and it worked great.
Here is what we had with ours – tortillas, cheese, sour cream, lettuce, and salsa. Oh yeah. Fixings. I just like saying it….but around here it sounds more like “Fixuns.”
