Default Yay!

I loooove crockpot recipes! I'm so excited that this message board is here! Any time I can get something awesome cooked with little effort throughout the day is fine with me! Here's my favourite one:

Slow Cooker Fajita Chicken – from March 2005 issue of Chatelaine, page 174
www.chatelaine.com

Preparation time 15 minutes
Cooking time 4 hours (high) or 6 hours (low)
Makes 10 cups (2.5 L)

Ingredients:

6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
2 each red and green peppers
2 jalapeno peppers or 2 tbsp (30 mL) chopped pickled jalapeno peppers (optional)
35 g pkg fajita or taco seasoning mix
3 tbsp (45 mL) all-purpose flour
430 mL jar chunky salsa, about 1-3/4 cups (425 mL)

Toppings such as sour cream, grated cheddar, sliced green onions and chopped fresh coriander (all optional)

Directions:

1. Slice chicken into thick strips. Core and seed peppers. Thinly slice. Seed and finely chop jalapenos. Place all in bowl of a slow cooker. Sprinkle with seasoning and flour, then stir to evenly mix. Stir in salsa. Cover and cook on high setting 4 hours or low setting 6 hours.

2. Spoon fajita mixture into bowls. Top with sour cream. Sprinkle with cheese, onions and coriander. Great with warm tortillas for dunking or wrapping. Chicken keeps well, covered and refrigerated, up to 3 days or freeze up to 2 months. Defrost and reheat in the microwave. Or place in a saucepan with a little water to prevent burning. Stir often over medium-low heat.
