Second Fajita Recipe-Kim

Slow Cooker Chicken Fajitas

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Yield: About 9 fajitas

Ingredients

2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast halves

1 (14.5 oz) can petite diced tomatoes with green chilies

1 red, orange and green bell pepper, julienned

1 large yellow onion, halved and sliced

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 1/2 tsp chili powder

2 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp paprika

3/4 tsp ground coriander

1 tsp salt

3/4 tsp pepper

2 Tbsp fresh lime juice

1 Tbsp honey

Flour tortillas, sour cream, cilantro, salsa, guacamole, monterrey jack or cheddar cheese

Directions

Make Dairy-Free Cauliflower Crust Pizza

Pour half of the canned tomatoes into the bottom of a slow cooker and spread into an even layer. Top with half of the peppers and half of the onions. Sprinkle garlic in. Top with chicken breasts.

In a bowl whisk together chili powder, cumin, paprika, coriander, salt and pepper. Evenly sprinkle half of the seasoning over chicken breasts then flip chicken and sprinkle in remainder. Top with remaining half of the tomatoes, then layer in remaining peppers and onions.

Cover and cook on HIGH heat 3 - 4 hours or low heat 6 - 8 hours, until chicken has cooked through and veggies are tender (note that if you want to be able to cut chicken into strips cook more near lesser time on HIGH or LOW, otherwise it will probably just shred, which is also fine).

Remove chicken, and cut into strips, or shred. Ladle out 1 cup of the broth in slow cooker (mostly tomato liquid) and discard. In a small bowl whisk together lime juice and honey and add to slow cooker along with chicken and season with additional salt to taste if desired. Gently toss. Sere warm in warmed tortillas with sour cream and optional guacamole, cheese and salsa.

First Fajita Recipe-Kim

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.

Ingredients

1 lb (3 or 4 usually) boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 green pepper

1 red pepper

1 yellow pepper

1 yellow onion

1 package fajita or taco seasoning

Method

Step 1

Slice up peppers and onion and place on bottom of slow cooker

Step 2

Add chicken breasts and add seasoning

Step 3

Use wet hands to mix the seasoning into chicken and vegetables well. When done mixing, place chicken breasts on top of pepper and onions and set slow cooker on high and cook for 4 hours.

Step 4

When done, slice or shred chicken and serve on warm tortillas with sour cream, guacamole or your favorite salsa.

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.

Sifting flour for bread recipes is a must. Most people just scoop the one cup measure in the flour canister and level it off. That compacts the flour and will turn your bread into a "hard biscuit.” If you do not have a sifter, use a spoon to spoon the flour into the one cup measure. Try it once the “sifted flour” way and you will see an amazing difference in the end product.
