This chicken fajita recipe is made in the slow cooker. I know that it would be more fun if it was frightening in a saucepan but I don’t always have time for that.
Have you ever been in a restaurant where they appear with a sibble pan from Fajitas? Oh guy, the whole restaurant looks up because it smells so good. Fajitas are generally a healthier choice because they are toasted and do not have the omnipresent book of cheese that appears on the enchiladas.
The slow cooker is an excellent tool for cooking the chicken breast because it seals the humidity. I love the results with my Lent honey garlic chicken recipe and roasted chicken chicken. You don’t have to worry about this drying!
This recipe takes a little more preparation because you cut peppers and an onion. I used my food processor to do a quick job of this.
The first step is to superimpose a ½ can of diced tomatoes with pepper (I used those who had jalapenos) and ½ peppers, onions and all the garlic.
Then you add the chicken breast and the spices,
Finally, you add another layer of tomatoes, peppers and onion. You have a chicken “sandwich” and light your slow cooker for 6 to 8 hours at low or 3-4 hours at high.
What is happening is that the chicken is covered and remains moist throughout the process and is infused with flavor. This is extremely low in fat (the chicken breast is very low in fat) and you would not know.
I like to serve this in a tortilla or above the lettuce (taco salad?).
It is not as crunchy as real fajitas – the slow cooker transforms it into a little stew – but it is very tasty.
You can hit him with fresh lime juice and a pinch of spicy sauce for an additional flavor.
