Crockpot Chicken Fajitas

Print Recipe

Delicious and flavorful crockpot chicken fajitas made with seasoned chicken, fire-roasted tomatoes, green chiles, and bell peppers, slow-cooked to perfection for an easy weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 (4 oz) can diced green chiles
  • 3 bell peppers, sliced (any color)
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • Corn or flour tortillas, for serving
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheese, salsa, guacamole, sour cream

Instructions

  1. Season both sides of the chicken with garlic powder, chili powder, salt, onion powder, cumin, black pepper, smoked paprika, and oregano.
  2. Place the seasoned chicken in the crockpot. Pour the fire-roasted diced tomatoes and diced green chiles over the chicken and lightly toss to combine.
  3. Cook on low for 5 hours or on high for 3 hours.
  4. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the crockpot and lightly toss together with the chicken. Cook for an additional 45 minutes to avoid mushy vegetables.
  5. Remove the chicken from the crockpot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot, add lime juice, and toss to combine.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper if needed.
  7. Serve the chicken fajitas on warmed tortillas and top with shredded cheese, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream as desired.

Notes

For crisper bell peppers and onions, add them to the slow cooker for only 30 minutes. Use chicken breasts for a leaner option or thighs for juicier meat. Any color bell peppers work well. Add jalapeños or poblano peppers for extra heat.
