I love chicken fajitas! These slow cooker chicken fajitas in a roaster pan, crock pot or slow cooker are so convenient and great for busy week nights, weekends or parties! They are also delicious and always seem to be a crowd favorite! If you are throwing a super bowl party, friend or family gathering these are a great option to feed the masses and make everyone happy! The fajita filling can also be served over nachos, in burritos, lettuce wrap or just on it’s own!

chicken fajitas for a large crowd.

I created this recipe for a family reunion so the original recipe feeds 30+ people. Since that isn’t realistic for feeding the average family I have reduced the original recipe to fit a family of 6. I will include the 30+ people recipe at the end of the post though for anyone wanting to feed a large group.
