Ingredients in Whole30 Hawaiian Chicken Fajitas

This recipe only uses a few really simple ingredients. For fresh items, you’ll need a pound and a half of boneless, skinless chicken thighs. This is about 5 to 6 thighs. You’ll also need half of a lime, a sliced red pepper and sliced red onion.

The remaining ingredients are pantry, or shelf-stable, items. Those include coconut aminos and coconut sugar, which can be omitted for Whole30. You’ll also need a can of pineapple slices. You’ll use the slices and the pineapple juice in the recipe. You can use fresh pineapple, but you’ll still need to either juice it or use canned juice.

A few spices and seasonings are required for the slow cooker fajitas, and those are cumin, garlic, chili powder, paprika, salt and pepper. All of these spices and the pantry items are easily available at major grocery stores, or online at places like Amazon or at a discount from Thrive Market.

Slow Cooker Hawaiian Chicken Fajitas Cooking Steps

There’s only three main steps to making these chicken fajitas. The first is to mix together the pineapple juice, lime juice, coconut aminos and coconut sugar. Add in all of the spices and use a fork to combine everything. Then you’ll add your chicken thighs into the slow cooker, and pour the mixture over the chicken.

The next step is to lay the pineapple slices over the chicken thighs in a single layer. Cover the slow cooker and let it cook for 6 to 8 hours on low, or 3 to 4 hours on high.

Finally, the last step is to remove the pineapple slices 30 minutes prior to when it’s done cooking or you’re ready to eat. Dice them into chunks, and then use 2 forks to shred the chicken thighs. They’ll be very tender, so you can do this easily right in the slow cooker.

Add in your diced pineapple, and the sliced peppers and onions. You’ll stir them into the shredded chicken and cover the slow cooker once more. Let it finish cooking for the remaining 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Serving and Storing Instructions

There are so many ways to serve and enjoy these slow cooker Hawaiian chicken fajitas. You can serve them over greens for a salad, in collard or lettuce wraps, in butterhead lettuce cups, with a creamy coleslaw, or over a baked potato.

You can also serve them as part of a taco bar with all of the taco / fajita toppings, with grain-free tortillas or in burritos. Over cauliflower rice, or brown rice (if you’re not eating Whole30 or Paleo), is also a really tasty way to eat these fajitas!

To store your chicken fajitas, you should first let them cool. Then you can store them in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. These can also be frozen, all together or in portions for one meal time, for up to 4 months.
