Apricot Chicken

Okay this recipe is kind of made up, but Becky asked for it so here it is:

3-4 frozen chicken breasts
1 small jar salsa
1 packet taco seasoning
1 cup apricot jam

cook all of this in the crock pot until the chicken shreds. In the last hour add 1 can of black beans rinsed and 1 can of corn. And your done! Then I serve it like taco salad with chips, lettuce, tomato and all of the fixings.

Crock Pot Fajitas

I'm pretty picky about my crock pot recipes but this one is really good!

Crock Pot Chicken Fajitas 

1 yellow onion, sliced
3 sweet peppers, sliced
1 ½ pounds boneless chicken breast or thighs
1/4 to ½ cup chicken broth, depending on preference (leave this out if you prefer a drier fajita filling)
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cumin
1 ½ tablespoons chili powder
Squirt of lime juice
Tortillas
Fajita fixings

Combine sliced onion and peppers in the bottom of a greased crockpot. Lay chicken on top of veggies. Pour chicken broth over top. Sprinkle everything with cumin, salt, and chili powder. Give a nice quirt of lime juice over the top. Cover and cook on low for 4-8 hours (or on High for 4 hours) or until meat is shreddable. When meat is done, shred with two forks and stir back into juices. Serve meat mixture with slotted spoon on tortillas with your choice of fixings.
