Unbelievable Slow Cooker Chicken Fajitas

“One of the absolute best slow cooker recipes you will ever make”

This easy slow cooker chicken fajitas recipe uses just a few fresh ingredients to make a wonderful and delicious meal. All you need to do is slice up 3 peppers and an onion and the slow cooker does the rest of the work. The results are incredible. This truly is one of the best slow cooker recipes I’ve ever made.

Start with fresh boneless skinless chicken breast. About 1 lb will do. I like to use fresh organic chicken breasts which usually come 3 or 4 to a package/pound. If using larger chicken breasts, it’s a good idea to slice the thickness in half. Just place the peppers and onions in the slow cooker, add the chicken on top and sprinkle on the fajita or taco seasoning. Use wet hands to mix it all well and again place the chicken on top of the vegetables. There is no need to add any liquid in the recipe. As the chicken and peppers cook, water will form. In fact, what makes this recipe so delicious is that by using no liquid and cooking on high for 4 hours, the chicken and vegetables don’t turn to mush. They will be done to perfection.

After 4 hours cooking on high. You can slice the chicken or use two forks and pull it apart. Use tongs to take out the vegetables and chicken and serve on warm flour tortillas. Add fresh sour cream or guacamole for absolutely delicious chicken fajitas.

Whole Wheat Beer Batter Bread

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour 4 ½ teaspoons baking powder 1 ½ teaspoon salt 1/3 cup brown sugar 1 (12 ounce) bottle beer, at room temperature 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted Optional: shredded cheese, diced green chilies, etc.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

In a mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. Add the beer all at once, mixing as little as possible; the batter should be lumpy.

Pour the batter into a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan and brush with the melted butter. Bake in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until an inserted skewer comes out clean. Turn out onto a rack to cool.

NOTES: This recipe makes a very hearty bread with a crunchy, buttery crust. If you prefer a softer crust (like a traditional bread), mix the butter into the batter instead of pouring it over the top.
