If you’re trying to eat healthy but looking for a really tasty recipe, then you’re not going to want to miss these super delicious Slow Cooker Chicken Fajitas! Perfect if you want a super nutritious but also family-friendly recipe that everyone will love!
I’ve teamed up with my lovely friend Vikkie from Tastefully Vikkie. She has a blog and a you tube channel packed full of healthy recipes, many of which are Slimming World friendly.
Now I’m not following the Slimming World diet myself but regular readers will know that I am trying to eat a lot healthier so I think this collaboration is perfect for me!
Vikki told me that her followers love not only healthy recipes but also slow cooked ones, and so I thought my Slow Cooker Chicken Fajitas would be the perfect meal to share.
Check out the video below where I share the recipe on Vikki’s you tube channel, and I’ve also included a printable version of the recipe too.
To serve the fajitas I used normal white tortilla wraps but you could use these B Free Gluten Free Wraps as a Healthy Extra B or even use lettuce wraps instead!

I just made this and it wasn’t delicious! I put it with some refried beans, low fat cheese, salad and fat free natural yoghurt and they went down a treat. I’m following the slimming world plan so to have a meal that’s so tasty and low syn is a definite winner. I’ll certainly be making them again. Thank you!

Hi there,
This recipe sounds delicious. I don’t have a slow cooker, would it work in the oven on a low temperature? Ellie
Ciara Attwell says
Hi Ellie, I don’t see why not!
