Crock Pot Chicken Fajitas
A ketogenic diet is a low-carb, high-fat eating plan designed to allow your body to utilize its own fat stores as fuel – making it a fantastic way to lose weight and feel more energetic!
Crock pots are one of the most useful kitchen tools, and this recipe for Crockpot Chicken Fajitas is one of my personal favorites! A quick dump-and-go dinner that only requires minimal ingredients; perfect for weeknight dinners when served on soft tortillas with your preferred toppings!
Before beginning, start by creating the marinade for the crockpot chicken fajitas. Whisk together oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika cumin lemon juice zest and salt before pouring over your chicken pieces to evenly coat them all and refrigerate for at least an hour (preferably overnight).
Once the chicken has been marinated, add it to a slow cooker along with red bell peppers and onions. Cover and simmer on low for 6-8 hours before stirring together before serving on warmed tortillas with your preferred fajita toppings.
Add chopped cilantro, parsley or green onions as garnish if desired, along with shredded cheese such as colby jack, cheddar or Mexican blend for extra flavour! You could also try topping it off with fresh lime juice and/or black olive slices to create your desired look! This healthy keto recipe serves eight people generously making it perfect for 2B Mindset meal planning; or make things even simpler by substituting tortillas for low carb tortilla wraps or cauliflower rice to create an E recipe option!

To create this cheesy and creamy chicken recipe, start by seasoning the chicken. Sprinkle both sides of it with salt and pepper before placing it into an oven-safe baking dish or sheet pan for baking. It should take around 10 minutes for boneless skinless breasts and 15 for chicken thighs – use a meat thermometer to ensure its internal temperature has reached 165 degrees Fahrenheit before checking doneness with an internal thermometer.
If you want a simpler cooking experience, slow cooker or instant pot are excellent ways to take the work off your shoulders. Both options will save you some time; however, oven baking provides you with more control over the timing and temperature.
