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.
You’ve gotta make this to switch up taco night! You’ll come to home a wonderful smelling pot of slow cooker chicken fajitas. And that my friends is how you impress your family with dinner. ;)

This slow cooker chicken fajitas is perfect. Now I know what to prepare for xmas. I love using slow cooker, there are so many benefits that you can get, I read that slow cooker can help you save time effort and money. It’s also nice that you don’t need to add oil, the content won’t catch as long as there’s enough moisture in there.
I hope you and everyone enjoy this for Christmas! I agree – I LOVE my slow cooker!! I use it a ton lately!
Did you or could you use frozen chicken breasts for this? Looks like a very yummy recipe!
I didn’t use frozen chicken breasts but I imagine you could. You might want to cook it a bit longer and reduce the liquid since frozen chicken will give off more liquid.
Place the ingredients through salsa?? I dont understand this step.
I didn’t want to type out all the ingredients again so that was an abbreviated way of saying all the ingredients before and including the salsa. So…chicken stock, bell peppers, onion, garlic, lime juice, and salsa.
I’m a newlywed. We received 3 or 4 (i can’t remember now) slow-cookers as gifts. Thanks for the recipe!
You poor thing, or is it lucky girl? Either way you look at it, you WIN! I’d hold onto one in case one dies. Maybe you could give one to a needy family during the holidays, or even a soup kitchen nearby.
Happy slow-cooking!
I’m excited to announce that I’m almost finished my shopping. I started last year. I love that you made fajitas even easier by cooking them in the slow cooker. Double yum!
These look AMAZING. So perfect for weekend get togethers!
So. THESE. I want them all. Every. Single. Night. Pinned!
Christmas shopping?!?! Ha! I can barely figure out what I’m going to do this weekend! Maybe I’ll have these fajitias, so easy and look delicious!
Looks fabulous and so easy that definitely need to put it on the menu!
Pinned.
Enjoy the beautiful day!
This looks amazing!
