Print Recipe

Tender chicken cooked slowly with bell peppers and onions in a flavorful blend of spices, perfect for easy and delicious fajitas made in a crockpot.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 3 bell peppers (red, green, yellow), sliced into thin strips
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/4 cup lime juice (about 2 limes)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 (6-inch) flour or corn tortillas

Instructions

  1. Place the sliced chicken in the crockpot.
  2. Add sliced bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic on top of the chicken.
  3. In a small bowl, mix chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  4. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables.
  5. Pour lime juice and olive oil over everything.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
  7. Once cooked, shred the chicken with two forks and stir to combine with the vegetables and juices.
  8. Warm tortillas in the oven or on a skillet.
  9. Serve the chicken fajita mixture in tortillas with your favorite toppings such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, shredded cheese, and cilantro.

Notes

For best flavor, marinate the chicken with the spices and lime juice for at least 30 minutes before adding to the crockpot. You can customize the heat level by adjusting the amount of crushed red pepper flakes. Leftovers store well and can be reheated for quick meals.
