Crockpot Chicken Fajitas

This is genius.  Just put all the ingredients below into a freezer bag. When you want to have this meal, dump it all into the crock pot and let it go for 5-6 hours on low.  A quick easy meal that does not taste quick OR easy!!

 ( 5-6 servings)
  • 2 peppers (your favorite)
  • 1 onion
  • 1 1/2 pound chicken breast
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • taco seasoning packet
  • 1 tsp. chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp. paprika
  • 1 tsp. salt
You will also need tortillas, cheese, cream, etc.
Directions
  1. Put all the ingredients in a large freezer bag. (Make sure you label the bag with instructions.)
  2. When it’s time to cook it, dump it all in your slow cooker and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 5-6 hours.
  3. When it’s cooked, shred the meat and add it back to the pepper mixture and serve on warm tortillas and your favorite toppings.
