Chicken fajitas are an absolute must in Texas! I love ordering them out at restaurants, but if you are like me, and do not always have time to cook, then this recipe is for you! It is simple and easy. Purchase the ingredients, mix all together, prepare, and store leftovers for later! Once the ingredients are mixed together just throw it all in a bag, pop it in the freezer (for up to 3 months!). When you’re ready to eat them just thaw the ingredients and pop them in a slow cooker! I usually let the bag thaw overnight and then pour the ingredients in my slow cooker before I go to work!

- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
