This hen fajita recipe is made within the gradual cooker. I do know it could be extra enjoyable if it was scorching in a pan however I don’t all the time have time for that.
Have you ever ever been to a restaurant the place they present up with a scorching pan of fajitas? Oh man, the entire restaurant appears to be like up as a result of it smells sooo good. Fajitas are often a more healthy selection as a result of they’re grilled and lack the ever present pound of cheese that exhibits up on enchiladas.
The gradual cooker is a superb instrument for cooking hen breast as a result of it seals in moisture. I like the outcomes with my gradual cooker honey garlic hen recipe and gradual cooker roast hen. You don’t have to fret about it drying out!
This recipe takes a little bit extra preparation since you slice up peppers and an onion. I used my meals processor to make fast work of this.
Step one is to layer ½ can of diced tomatoes with chilis (I used ones that had jalapenos) and ½ of the peppers, onions and the entire garlic.
Then you definately add the hen breast and spices,
Lastly you addand one other layer of tomatoes, peppers, and onion. You make a hen “sandwich” and switch in your gradual cooker for 6-8 hours on low or 3-4 hours on excessive.
What occurs is that the hen is roofed and stays moist via out the method and is infused with taste. That is extraordinarily low in fats (hen breast may be very low in fats) and also you wouldn’t realize it.
I wish to serve this in a tortilla or on prime of lettuce (taco salad anybody?).
It isn’t as crunchy as precise fajitas – the gradual cooker turns it into considerably of a stew – BUT it is extremely tasty.
You possibly can hit it with some contemporary lime juice and a splash of sizzling sauce for additional taste.
