I'm going to make it this week.  Just out of curiousity though, the recipe calls for serving on a tortilla and with sour cream as an option - grains and dairy.  How are these part of the Whole 30 diet?\r\nThanks!","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"cindy","url":""}}],"about":["Dairy-Free Recipes","Healthy Freezer"],"wordCount":854,"articleBody":"Jump to Recipe·Print RecipeSpread the loveThis is the best ever Healthy Crockpot Chicken Fajitas recipe. It's so easy to make and you can choose how long to cook it and what ingredients to use. It's no secret around here that I love my crockpot. I mean, it seems like everything in the crockpot is easy, tender, and delicious, especially this recipe.The chicken gets really tender from cooking. You can choose if you want to cook the chicken for 4-5 hours on high or about 8 hours on low, depending on how it fits into your schedule. Usually, I don't like to cook chicken breasts in the crockpot because they get dried out, so that's what makes adding the pica de Gallo in with the chicken so good. It not only gives the fajitas good flavor, but it also helps to tenderize them and helps keep them from drying out - oh, and so easy to just dump something already made in your crockpot (or you could make your own).This chicken fajitas recipe is also really good for groups because people can pick and choose the ingredients they like and get their own and you can keep the meat warm and have it made ahead of time so you can focus on last-minute preparations for your party. It is also good that way for different diets because people can pick and choose which ingredients are good on their particular diet.As for the vegetables, I didn't add the vegetables to the crockpot - just saut\u00e9ed them on high heat and put them with the chicken before serving so that they stayed crisp, but browned. This makes for a more traditional fajitas flavor as they have at restaurants. Alternatively, you could add the veggies to the crockpot for the last hour or two if you wanted. They would not be the same but would be easier since you wouldn't have to cook the veggies at the last minute.Some other variations and substitutions I like to do:Sometimes I roast the vegetables in the oven. Just cut them up and put them in a single layer on a pan, drizzle with oil and salt and cook on 425.I personally love these with tomatillo salsa.For the Paleo diet, I often substitute the sour cream with my homemade mayo without anything added to it, so just eggs, salt, vinegar, and oil.I generally prefer the red, orange and yellow mini pepper medley instead of green peppers and I love sweet onions instead of the red and yellow onions.Instead of cooking this on high for 4-5 hours, you can cook it on low for about 8 hours. Just check the chicken every once in a while though, because chicken breasts dry out very easily. Luckily, the salsa cooked with the chicken helps that a lot.Use this Paleo Tortillas RecipePlease let me know if you try this recipe. I would love to know what you like about it. Do you make fajitas at home very often? Personally, I love these with tomatillo salsa and avocado and I would love to hear your favorite way of eating them.PrintRecipeclock clock iconcutlery cutlery iconflag flag iconfolder folder iconinstagram instagram iconpinterest pinterest iconfacebook facebook iconprint print iconsquares squares iconheart heart iconheart solid heart solid icon\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe Best Ever Healthy Crockpot Chicken Fajitas Recipe\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t5 Stars\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t4 Stars\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t3 Stars\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2 Stars\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t1 Star\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t5 from 4 reviews\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAuthor: Rebecca Baron\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPrep Time: 20 minutes\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCook Time: 300 minutes\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTotal Time: 320 minutes\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tYield: 4 servings 1x\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCategory: Main Course\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCuisine: Paleo\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPrint Recipe\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSave Recipe\t\t\t\t\t\tRecipe Saved\t(function(){\tfunction ensureSlickstream() {\t\treturn new Promise((resolve, reject) => {\t\t\tif (window.slickstream) {\t\t\t\tresolve(window.slickstream.v1);\t\t\t} else {\t\t\t\tdocument.addEventListener('slickstream-ready', () => {\t\t\t\t\tresolve(window.slickstream.v1);\t\t\t\t});\t\t\t}\t\t});\t}\tfunction updateFavoriteButtonState() {\t\tensureSlickstream().then(function(slickstream) {\t\t\tvar isFavorite = slickstream.favorites.getState();\t\t\tdocument.querySelectorAll('.tasty-recipes-slickstream-button').forEach(function(el) {\t\t\t\tel.querySelector('.tasty-recipes-saved').style.display = isFavorite ? null : 'none';\t\t\t\tel.querySelector('.tasty-recipes-not-saved').style.display = isFavorite ?
