SLOW COOKER CHICKEN FAJITAS

Slow Cooker Chicken Fajitas image

I searched high and low for a great recipe for slow cooker fajitas before I came up with this. The best part for me is that I don't have to defrost the meat before I throw it in there. Also, this makes a very large batch, so it's good for big families or a crowd of guests.
