Crock Pot Chicken Fajitas

            Here is another wonderfully easy dinner for you to whip up in the Crock Pot!  Now you can have delicious fajitas waiting for you at dinnertime without all the work.  I merged a few recipes I’ve seen, and there are a few things I want to try the next time I make this, but for now, this is a good starting place.  Here is what you’ll need:

            Crock Pot Chicken Fajitas

            Ingredients:

            2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast

            2 packages fajita seasoning

            ¼ cup prepared salsa

2 bell peppers, sliced

1 large onion, sliced

1 tsp minced garlic

½ stick butter

            ¼ cup water (optional)

            Directions:

            Spray crock lightly with nonstick cooking spray.  Place butter in crock.  Arrange sliced vegetables around butter.  Slice chicken breast in half, lengthwise.  Place chicken on top of onions and peppers.  Add remaining ingredients.  Cook on low setting 6-8 hours.  Shred chicken and return to crock.  Dip using a slotted spoon.  Serve with your favorite fajita fixin’s—tortillas, cheese, sour cream, lettuce, etc.

            As for the success of this—it really was delicious!  However, I would make some changes.  I didn’t think the seasoning was strong enough, so I plan to leave out the water next time, and/or add some more seasonings.  Also, since I cut my chicken breast in half (I read in a crock pot book that putting whole chicken breast in a crock can put you at risk of the chicken setting at an unhealthy temp for too long) I probably didn’t need to cook it 8 hours.  It was probably done more around 4 or 6, but with the day I had I didn’t get to it until it had been in there 8.  Two things I plan to add next time—little chicken bouillon and a little lime juice.  I think that will give it a little more of the flavor I want.

            It doesn’t look very appetizing, but I assure you it will be one of your new favorite meals:
