Description

An easy and flavorful sheet pan chicken fajitas recipe made with seasoned chicken, bell peppers, and onions all baked together on one pan for a quick and healthy dinner.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, green), sliced
  • 1 large red onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 8 small flour or corn tortillas
  • Fresh lime wedges, for serving
  • Chopped cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced chicken, bell peppers, and onion.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Toss everything together until the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated with the seasoning.
  5. Spread the mixture evenly onto a large sheet pan.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  7. Optional: Broil for the last 2-3 minutes to slightly char the edges for extra flavor.
  8. Warm the tortillas and serve the chicken and veggies with your favorite toppings like cilantro, lime wedges, or sour cream.

Notes

  • For quicker prep, use pre-sliced fajita veggies from the store.
  • Use boneless chicken thighs if you prefer juicier meat.
  • Double the seasoning for extra flavor intensity.
