Slow Cooker Chicken Fajitas

Okay. It’s October. Has anyone started Christmas shopping yet? No, please don’t tell me. I don’t really feel like freaking out right now even though I’m already getting slightly anxious about Christmas gifts. Like I do every year because it’s just so hard to buy gifts for people. I’m all about the gift cards. Specifically Amazon gift cards because Amazon = buy all the things + Kindle books.

Anyway. The past two days I’ve been taking an internal training class and it’s called “Fierce Conversations.” It’s basically teaching you how to have difficult but necessary conversations with people you work with and be fierce about it without coming off like Mr. Douchepants. I know some people that need this class more than others. COUGHCOUGH. Moving on. It’s one of those classes that builds your conversational skills and I think everyone should be required to take it.

The best part of class happened yesterday. The instructor was like, “when you think of fierce, what do you think of?” and some lady in the back of the room yelled….

BEYONCÉ.

Hahaha

Do you want a super easy slow cooker dinner dish that you can basically set and forget? Of course you do! I mean, who doesn’t?

This literally involves….nothing.

Zero effort and 100% flavor and lots of yum.

Recipe Notes

At the end of the cooking process, the top of the chicken will look black, like it's burned or something - don't fret..it's just the seasoning blackening. Once you turn the chicken over and 'wash' it in the liquid in the slow cooker, it'll all be ok :)
