Chicken Fajitas

I made what I think are the best Fajitas that I've ever made last night. I made 5 crock pot meals yesterday and froze 4 of them. The original post is from here. I tweaked it a little and I loved the results!
Chicken Fajitas ( 5-6 large servings)
1 or 2 Bell Peppers (I used 1 red)
1 onion, sliced
1 1/2 lbs chicken breast (I put 4 in, but I think 5 would be perfect)
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 package taco seasoning (I used Lawry's)
1 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/2 packet Hidden Valley Ranch powder
You will also need tortillas, sour cream, shredded cheese, avocado slices, or whatever your favorite toppings are.

Make ahead and freeze Directions:
  1. Put all the ingredients in a large freezer bag. (Make sure you label the bag with instructions.)
  2. When it’s time to cook it, dump it all in your slow cooker and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 5-6 hours.
  3. When it’s cooked, shred the meat and add it back to the pepper mixture and serve on warm tortillas and your favorite toppings.
I made some cilantro-lime rice to put on them and I think that is what really made the fajitas come together! I suck at making rice but I just bought a microwave rice cooker recently. I used minute rice. Instead of using water, I used chicken broth. I also added a bunch of cilantro, a squirt of lime juice, and about a tablespoon of diced onion. It was so good! I will definitely make this again.
