Great flavor but didn't make much. Next time I would double the recipe so there would be plenty for seconds! -
Delish! Made it for a Cinco de Mayo party and enjoyed leftovers for lunch. Very easy and good! -
My husband really liked this. I used whole boneless breasts and thighs. Kinda chunked it up after it was cooked. Served with rice and beans. -
Congrats ! Your Recipe is featured on our homepage today as the "Recipe of the Day!" (8/8/11) -
OH MY GOODNESS! I didn't put the onion or green pepper in the crock pot with the chicken, I saute'd them crisp tender right before serving...but the chicken...about 3 1/2 hours into the cooking..it was falling apart and it tasted amazing! I had a hard time staying out of it until dinner! I didn't cut up the chicken either, I just used chicken breast tenderloins and threw them in the crock pot. Did I mention that the chicken tasted amazing? Great recipe! Thank You!

These were great! I added about 2 TBSP taco seasoning, left out the onion, and used garlic salt instead of seasoning salt. I used 8 chicken breast tenderloins and that made enough for about 8 fajitas. The chicken came out nice and tender, much better than the stove top fajitas I've made.
