Chicken Fajitas in the Crockpot
Slow-cooked chicken, peppers and onions with lime and warm spices make an easy fajita filling for tortillas and toppings.

Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced in half-circle slices
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced in half-circle slices
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- flour tortillas
- grated cheese
- sour cream
- guacamole
- salsa
Directions
- Remove any visible fat and tendons from the chicken breasts, then slice the chicken crosswise into 1 inch pieces. Put the chicken in the crockpot.
- Trim the onion at both ends, peel it, halve it from top to bottom, and slice it into half-circles. Add the onion to the crockpot.
- Trim the red and green bell peppers, halve them from top to bottom, remove seeds and membranes, and slice them into half-circles. Cut up the stem and bottom ends as well. Add the peppers to the crockpot.
- Drizzle the lime juice over the chicken, onions, and peppers.
- In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, and salt with the chicken broth, or homemade chicken stock. Pour the mixture over the chicken.
- Put the lid on and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender. About 3 hours on high is the usual target.
- Fill warmed tortillas, including low-carb tortillas if you prefer, with the chicken and vegetables, then add toppings.
- You can also serve the chicken and vegetables on a plate, melt cheese over the top, and add the other toppings.
