Apparently I am no good at photographing crock pot food.
That’s ok. I am REALLY good at eating it, so it evens out.
This Fix Approved Fajita recipe is easy to throw together and delicious with tortillas, in a fajita bowl, or even on a taco salad. We eat this a lot for dinner, but it would be great to prep ahead of time for lunches throughout the week. If you give it a try, let me know!
I hope you enjoy these Crock Pot chicken fajitas!

Crock Pot chicken fajitas are an easy and flavorful dinner. Made with lean chicken breast, tomatoes, peppers, onions, and homemade taco seasoning, this is a 21 Day Fix recipe you’ll love.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 (14.5 oz) can of tomatoes with green chili peppers or fire roasted tomatoes (I used fire roasted because that is what I had – YUM!)
- 3 green bell peppers, sliced in thin strips
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced in thin strips
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 2 T of Homemade Taco Seasoning (click for the recipe)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 pepper
Instructions
- Pour 1/2 can of tomatoes in the Crock Pot.
- Top with 1/2 the bell peppers and onions; Sprinkle in garlic and add chicken breast on top of veggies.
- Season one side the chicken with 1/2 of taco seasoning, flip and sprinkle remaining tablespoon over the second half. Pour the rest of the tomatoes and veggies over top the chicken.
- Cover, cook on low heat for 6 hours or on high for 3-4.
- Remove chicken, cut into strips or shred. You can ladle out some of the broth if your fajitas are too soupy.
- Serve in warmed tortillas and top with fresh lime juice and Greek Yogurt or make a fajita bowl like we did! I used brown rice, fresh lime, avocado, cheese and Greek Yogurt.

can you make it on the stove not a crockpot?
Nancylynn says
Yes! I would just diced the chicken before cooking.

Hi!
I am so glad I found your site! I have just finished 2 weeks of my first go-around of 21 day fix. My husband is itching for us to be done, since he eats what I eat at night and he is getting bored. I am hopeful to make this a general lifestyle change, that’s why I am so excited that you site has so many great recipes that I think he will like and won’t get repetitive! With your bowl: did you use 1 yellow of rice, and how did you measure out the cheese and avocado? Thanks!
Nancylynn says
Hi Maryellen! You just made my day! My husband sounds a lot like yours, and he had a big part of why I started this blog…I knew there must be other people like us who want to eat yummy meals while also eating healthy! Anyway, I usually do a full yellow, but you can easily halve it if you need to. And I split my blue container – half avocado and half cheese! Hope you enjoy the fajitas!

What’s the recipe for homemade taco seasoning?
Nancylynn says
Sorry! Here you go! https://confessionsofafitfoodie.com/2015/03/salt-free-taco-seasoning/
Rena says
So delicious!! I used sweet mini peppers because I needed to use them up and it was a nice touch! I took your advice and did the bowl over brown rice and loved it. These would be great for prepped lunches! Thank you!!
Nancylynn says
Yay, Rena!!!!
maryc says

Nancylynn says
Aww! This made my morning! Thanks SO much! <3
johanna martinez says
Is the 2 T for taco season for table spoon or teaspoon?
Nancylynn says
tablespoon!
Katie says
Hi question
How did you measure this as a container. I’m meal prepping and I added 1 full Red and 1 full green container. I dont know if that was too much?
Ashley says
Have you tried to do this in an Instant Pot? 😊
Nancylynn says
Yes! The peppers get really soft…as long as you don’t mind that! I used chicken tenderloins and cooked it for 7 minutes.
Kelsey Hill says
Do you have to account for the purple that the tomatoes usually fall under?
Nancylynn says
Tomatoes without added sugar can count as a green!
Ann says
So, I’m researching the 21 Day Fix. I have the containers but haven’t started yet. I love the idea of using the crock pot. My question is, if you use a recipe like the one above, or a soup, etc., and it counts as one red and one green, do you actually fill the red and green containers and that’s your serving? Thanks in advance!
Nancylynn says
Hi! No – you would follow the same serving size as listed in the recipe, but count it like the containers say to count it. Does that make sense?
Ann says
Well, yes and no. Lol! The recipe just says it makes 5 servings, it doesn’t say much. So I’ll just eye-ball it into 5 equal servings? But yes, it helps to know you don’t actually measure it in the containers.
