This recipe will be on the permanent rotation  I am all about making life easy so I love my slow cooker and use it often. These fajitas I have perfected over the years . This is a go to recipe when I have a girls weekend at the beach. Everyone loves fajitas and they go so well with frozen drinks like a Mango Margarita , a beach favorite.

Notes

If you want your chicken to cut more into strips and not shred I find that a thin cut or a pounded flat chicken breast works best and cook at the lower end of the times
Use your favorite combination of bell pepper . I find the green bell pepper is strong but it is nice mixed with other bell peppers
