Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas
I love making these Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas whenever I don’t feel like cooking or find myself short on time because they are super easy to make, and my family loves them. All you have to do is cut every ingredient into thin strips, add the fajita seasoning, and bake. It’s that simple!
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts or tenderloins (About 2-3 chicken breasts)
- 3 medium-sized bell peppers (Any color)
- 1 medium white onion
- 2 tbsp oil (I use olive oil)
- The juice of 1 lime
- Chopped cilantro (To Taste)
- Tortillas (Flour or corn)
- Toppings (For serving)
Fajita Seasoning
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tsp chili powder
- A pinch of cayenne pepper (Optional)
- ½ tsp cumin
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp oregano
- Salt (To taste)
- Black pepper (To taste)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Slice the bell peppers and onion into slices. You can make the strips as thin or thick as you want.
- Cut the chicken breasts or tenderloins into strips.
- Place the bell peppers, onion, and chicken on a baking sheet covered with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
- Add the oil and all the ingredients for the fajita seasoning. Toss well to make sure everything is well coated.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the chicken is done and the veggies are soft.
- Add the lime juice and sprinkle with chopped cilantro before serving.
- Serve with tortillas and your favorite toppings.
Notes
- The cooked chicken should register an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- If you want the fajitas to have a charred look, you can bake them for a few more minutes or place them under the broiler for 2-3 minutes. Make sure not to overcook them so the chicken doesn’t dry out.
- Make them ahead. Slice the veggies and the chicken and refrigerate them overnight in an airtight bag or container. You can also freeze them for up to three months.
- You can also make the fajita seasoning ahead of time and store it in a jar at room temperature.
- Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat them in the microwave for a few minutes before serving.
