Simple Slow Cooker Chicken Fajitas

Molly LaFontaine
My slow cooker chicken fajitas are wholesome, simple, and full of flavor. The homemade fajita seasoning not only creates a flavor that stands out but keeps nasty additives out of the food! These fajitas have become a go-to supper in our house, especially after church. I hope this meal finds a special place in your kitchen!
