Recipe Ingredients

• Chicken Breasts: Boneless skinless chicken breasts are the best cut of meat for this recipe.
• Fajita Seasoning: This seasoning has everything you need to harness the “fajita” flavor. If you want to make this from scratch, you’ll need simple Mexican spices, like cumin, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. I like the McCormick brand.
• White Onion: You’ll dice the entire onion and add it with all of the other ingredients.
• Bell Peppers: Grab 1 each of red and green bell pepper and dice them up.
• Garlic: Fresh garlic yields some of the best flavors, especially when minced.
• Chicken Broth: 3 cups of chicken broth helps create the creamy texture of the soup.
• Black Beans: What’s a good fajita soup without black beans? Some of the best chicken fajitas include canned beans.
• Corn: The easiest way to add this is to get canned corn. That way you can drain and pour it in the remaining ingredients.
• Cream Cheese: All you need is one 8 oz. package of cream cheese. It will melt and help make this soup absolutely delicious.

Step-by-Step Directions

Step One – Put the chicken breasts into the bottom of the crockpot and sprinkle over the fajita seasoning.

Step Two – Add in the diced peppers, onions, corn, beans, minced garlic, and cream cheese.

Step Three – Pour in the chicken broth.

Step Four – Stir everything together until well combined. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 4 hours.

Step Six – Stir the soup to combine everything. Serve and enjoy!

How to serve:

• This soup can always be served as is, but if you’re looking to add a bit more to it, try topping it with freshly chopped cilantro, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, diced avocado, a squeeze of fresh lime juice, sour cream, and red pepper flakes.
• You can also serve this soup with tortilla chips, scoops style chips, cauliflower rice, an extra side of black beans, or cornbread.
