Crock Pot Chicken Fajitas

Chicken fajitas always intimidate me. I don't have a grill (except for our Foreman grill) and they always look super hard and time consuming. The soultion? CROCK POT CHICKEN FAJITAS. Yes, brilliant idea -- I know. I prepared everything the night before and all I had to do the next morning was combine the ingredients in the crock pot and turn it on before I left for work. I love coming home to dinner already made! Woo hoo!





Ingredients:
1 yellow onion, sliced
3 bell peppers, sliced ( I used red, orange, and yellow)
3 or 4 boneless chicken breast or thighs
½ cup chicken broth, depending on preference
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cumin
1 ½ tablespoons chili powder
Squirt of lime juice
Tortillas
Fajita fixings (sour cream, avocado, cheese)

Directions:
1. Combine sliced onion and peppers in the bottom of a greased crockpot.
2. Lay chicken breasts on top of veggies. Pour chicken broth over top.
3. Sprinkle everything with cumin, salt, and chili powder.
4. Give a nice quirt of lime juice over the top.
5. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours (or on High for 4-6 hours). When meat is done, shred with two forks and stir back into juices. Serve meat mixture with slotted spoon on tortillas with your choice of fixings.

How easy is this?? You can thank me later.. ;)
