These Slow Cooker Chicken Fajitas are super easy to put together and slow cook for several hours in the crockpot for extra tender and flavorful chicken. Change up Taco Tuesday or make them for Cinco de Mayo!
I love getting fajitas in a Mexican restaurant. It’s always so exciting when they bring that steaming cast iron plate to the table with sizzling chicken or steak and tender peppers and onions. Then all that goodness is wrapped in a house-made tortilla and although they’re likely too hot to eat right away you willingly shovel them in your mouth because they are just THAT good.
Wouldn’t it be nice if they delivered that same sizzling plate of awesomeness to your dinner table at home?
These Slow Cooker Chicken Fajitas may not arrive on a sizzling cast iron plate, but let me tell you, they are just as delicious! Plump, juicy chicken breast is cut into strips and then seasoned with a delicious blend of spices. They sit on top of the sliced bell peppers and onions, and cook for a few hours, making the chicken and the vegetable super tender.
If you’re feeling fancy, you can make your own tortillas (here’s a great recipe) but you can buy them at the grocery store and they are almost as good. Especially if you heat them on the flame of your stove, which is how I love them.
These Crockpot Chicken Fajitas will please even your pickiest eaters. If you happen to have any leftovers, use them for this Chicken Fajita Salad, or in a nice pot of soup!

I agree with allergies and one who doesn’t use packets it’s wonderful to have the seasoning ingredients. You have 2 limes listed but don’t see where it says to add is this for garnish or are we adding to the he slow cooker thanks!
Add the juice after shredding the chicken.
Thank you for making this from scratch! So many of the pinners used packs of season mix, and that’s fine, but when some of us who can’t for allergy reasons need measurements, it’s nice to have them!
