These Crockpot Chicken Fajitas are a delicious and effortless low-carb meal. Made with tender slow-cooked chicken, bell peppers, onions, and a creamy blend of salsa and cream cheese, they offer a comforting twist on traditional fajitas. Perfect for meal prepping or busy weeknights, you can serve them over cauliflower rice, in lettuce wraps, or low-carb tortillas for a satisfying and healthy dinner.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (fresh or frozen, thawed)
  • 2 bell peppers (any color), sliced into strips
  • 1 medium sweet onion, sliced into strips
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 8 oz cream cheese, cubed
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • Add the sliced bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic on top of the chicken.
  • Pour the salsa over the vegetables and chicken, followed by the cubed cream cheese.
  • Sprinkle chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper on top of the ingredients.
  • Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours.
  • Once the chicken is fully cooked and easily shreds with a fork, shred the chicken in the slow cooker and stir everything together.
  • Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture, and serve over cauliflower rice or in a lettuce wrap for a low-carb meal. Top with avocado, cheese, and sour cream for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Vegetarian Option: Swap out the chicken for tofu or additional veggies like zucchini and mushrooms.
  • Spicy Kick: Add jalapeños or your favorite hot sauce for extra heat.
  • Different Proteins: You can substitute chicken with chicken thighs or beef for a unique flavor profile.
