Today you are going to take a little trip. A trip inside my head during my random thoughts at the grocery store. Hey, what can I say? Sometimes I do my best thinking while wandering the aisles. This wasn't really a pondering moment as much as a rant. A rant that occurred totally in my head.
I found myself once again standing in front of the chicken selection, feeling irritated. Why? Because of the packages of boneless chicken breasts. I don't know how it is at your store, but at 99% of the ones I shop at, if I want them here are my choices. Three per pack or seven per pack. Really? Can't we find a happy medium? Yes, there are only 3 members in my family, but I have a growing boy on my hands! And yes, I could buy the bigger pack and then freeze the extras, which I will, when they are on sale, but that doesn't always happen or isn't always in the budget. So there I was ticked off I was only getting three in the pack, knowing they weren't going to be enough for the meal I had planned. Solution? I just added extra side dishes, and we still had enough to eat. So I guess in the end, it wasn't that big of a deal, and we survived, but at the time it was annoying.
You can imagine my excitement then, when my friend shared this recipe with me. The first ingredient on the list? THREE boneless skinless chicken breasts! How perfect! I could buy one package and have it be exactly enough! In fact, I knew by shredded it, it would really stretch and might even end up being more than enough...and I was correct!
If you love Mexican food, and also love your Crock Pot, you are going to enjoy this just as much as I did. It literally took about 5 minutes to put together, cooked all day while I was busy and then was ready to serve at dinner time. Deep in flavor, moist and tender, those three chicken breasts are definitely the star!
If there is a petition out there to demand companies start putting 4 chicken breasts in a package, please let me know where I can sign! Or maybe I'll start one! Oh heck, I'm too busy to lead that movement. I'll just keep making this recipe using the three they want to give me!
Crock Pot Chicken Fajitas From Pinterest
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 bell peppers, green, yellow and red, thinly sliced
1 packet Fajita seasoning
1 medium white onion, thinly sliced
1/2 a medium red onion, thinly sliced
Salt and Pepper to taste
Place peppers and onions in Crock Pot. Toss to combine. Lay chicken on top. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with seasoning packet. Cook on LOW 6-8 hours. (Mine were done after 6.5) Remove chicken and slice or shred. Serve with warm tortillas.
*NOTE* I removed the peppers and onions with a slotted spoon. I sliced the chicken and placed everything on my cast iron crepe pan. I then set it on the stove on LOW until I could hear it sizzle. It created that restaurant wow factor!
