This rooster fajita recipe is made within the sluggish cooker. I do know it might 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 normally 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 sluggish cooker is a wonderful instrument for cooking rooster breast as a result of it seals in moisture. I really like the outcomes with my sluggish cooker honey garlic rooster recipe and sluggish cooker roast rooster. You don’t have to fret about it drying out!
This recipe takes a 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 rooster breast and spices,
Lastly you addand one other layer of tomatoes, peppers, and onion. You make a rooster “sandwich” and switch in your sluggish cooker for 6-8 hours on low or 3-4 hours on excessive.
What occurs is that the rooster is roofed and stays moist by way of out the method and is infused with taste. That is extraordinarily low in fats (rooster breast could 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 sluggish cooker turns it into considerably of a stew – BUT it is rather tasty.
You possibly can hit it with some contemporary lime juice and a splash of scorching sauce for additional taste.
