Easy Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas
These sheet pan fajitas make a weeknight dinner easy, colorful, and packed with flavor.
recipesbynani.comSheet pan fajitas are a lifesaver when I want a healthy, delicious meal without spending all night cleaning up the kitchen. Everything cooks together on one pan, so you get perfectly tender peppers and juicy chicken with very little effort.
My best tip is to slice your chicken and vegetables into uniform strips so that everything finishes cooking at the exact same time. Serve them right on the tray for a casual family style dinner that everyone will enjoy.
🧺 Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
- 2 bell peppers, sliced into strips
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 8 small flour or corn tortillas
- Optional toppings like sour cream, avocado, or fresh cilantro
👩🍳Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
Place the chicken strips, sliced peppers, and onions onto the prepared baking sheet.
- 3
Drizzle the olive oil and lime juice over the ingredients, then sprinkle with the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- 4
Toss everything together with your hands or tongs until the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated in the oil and spices.
- 5
Spread the mixture out into a single layer on the pan to ensure even cooking.
- 6
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
- 7
Warm your tortillas in the microwave or on the stovetop and serve the fajita mixture inside them with your favorite toppings.
💡 Tips
Store any leftover chicken and veggies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, just pop them in a skillet over medium heat until warm. If you have extra tortillas, keep them wrapped in a damp paper towel in the microwave to keep them soft.
