Lately, I’ve been throwing together a lot of crock pot meals. I love it because it’s nice not to worry about what’s for dinner. I already know that it’s cooking and will be ready when my husband comes home from work. These Crock Pot Chicken Fajitas were easy to throw in the crock pot and they tasted good.
You can also prep the ingredients beforehand and turn it into a freezer meal that is easy to take out of the freezer and throw into the crock pot. Here’s the recipe:
Cut up 1 onion and 3 peppers (red, orange, and yellow) and place it in the crock pot.
Place chicken on top and sprinkle with taco seasoning, and push the crock pot button to cook. That’s how easy it is!

Instructions
- To Make this Freezer Meal: Place the sliced up onions and bell peppers in a medium freezer ziploc bag and seal. Place the uncooked chicken in a gallon freezer bag and sprinkle the taco seasoning on the chicken.

- To Make for the Crock Pot: Slice up the onion and bell peppers and place them in the bottom of the crock pot.
- Lay the chicken on top of the onion and peppers. Sprinkle the taco seasoning on top of the chicken.

I prepared this as a frozen meal. When I toss everything in crockpot am I right, no liquid?
Yes, just toss everything in the crock pot. I didn’t add water and it turned out great. You could add 1/4 cup water if you feel you need to add a little water.
