Chicken Fajitas In The Slow Cooker

This slow cooker recipe for chicken fajitas is delicious, as they slow cook all day the chicken, peppers, and onions soak in the warm spices and take on the flavor leaving you with tender chicken and veggies. So much better than just frying this in a pan. Much easier than having to marinate the chicken, and after cooking the fajita this way you will now make them this way all the time. Great for  any day of the week, start in the morning and at dinner time all you have to do is warm the tortilla's. Love my slow cooker and any time I find a great recipe or get a chance I will use it.

Ingredients: 

• 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken tenders or chicken breasts ( if using chicken breasts, slice in half lengthwise then into strips, just like chicken tenders)
