Crock Pot Chicken Fajitas

 4-6 Boneless Chicken Breasts

1 packet taco seasoning

1 can ROTEL diced tomatoes and green chiles

Sauteed green peppers, onions (optional) Put the chicken breasts in the crock pot. Sprinkle with taco seasoning and add the can of ROTEL. Cook on low 6 hours. Shred the chicken to help absorb the liquid and seasonings. Add the green peppers and onions if desired.

You can freeze this and just reheat it in the microwave or stovetop to serve. Serve with warm tortillas and toppings of your choice. We like shredded cheese, sour cream, and any other mexican toppings.
