The other day, I wanted a quick and easy recipe. Since I've been trying to get my garden planted in the evenings after work, and I don't get home from work until around 5:45 usually, I don't want to spend an hour in the kitchen getting supper ready. By the time I do that, and then we eat whatever I've made, and then I clean it up, the sun is going down.
I had seen a recipe that looked super simple, and pretty tasty, on Pinterest. I followed the link to this website {http://eatathomecooks.com/2012/12/easy-crockpot-chicken-fajitas.html} and decided to give it a shot, with a couple small tweaks.
It was probably the easiest main dish I have ever made, and we really liked it!
Easy Crock Pot Fajitas
2 or 3 peppers (red, green, yellow)
1 onion
Enough chicken breasts to make a single layer in your crock pot
1 package fajita seasoning
1 package taco seasoning
Slice all peppers into long, thin strips. Slice an onion and break up the rings. Dump all peppers and onion into a Crock Pot. Place chicken breasts in a single layer on top of the bed of peppers & onions. Sprinkle the packages of seasoning over the chicken. Cook on low 6 to 8 hours Shred or slice chicken before serving.
Seriously, how easy is that?! It took me all of 5 minutes before work to slice up the peppers & onion. I threw them all in a bowl and gave The Farmer instructions about how to put them in the Crock Pot, with a layer of chicken on top, and sprinkle on the seasonings. I came home after work that day to a house that smelled AMAZING. I shredded the chicken before we ate it, and we topped ours with sour cream, shredded cheese, and homemade pico de gallo that we had leftover from taco night.
The onions and peppers were a bit more limp because of being cooked in a Crock Pot all day, and from sitting in the liquid that came out of them and from the chicken as it all cooked, but other than that they tasted like restaurant fajitas. Later The Farmer was heating up some more and called me from the other room. I walk around the corner to see what he needs and he just said "Hey...these are good." Haha! I think that is a good sign.
