Slow Cooker Fajitas

I LOVE Fajitas and it is typically the healthiest thing to order at a Mexican Restaurant (careful of all the fixins though).  This recipe is so easy yet turns out so tender and flavorful.

Prep Time: 15 minutes; Cook Time: 6 hours 10 minutes; Servings: 6

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

Serve with any of the following:  Tortillas or Lettuce Wraps , sour cream, cilantro, salsa, guacamole, Monterrey jack or cheddar cheese

Instructions

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Cover and cook on HIGH heat 3 – 4 hours or low heat 6 – 8 hours, until chicken has cooked through and veggies are tender.
4. 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. Serve warm
