Description
This easy sheet pan chicken fajitas recipe is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or meal prepping!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
- 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, and green), sliced
- 1 large red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Juice of 1 lime
- Warm tortillas, for serving
- Optional toppings: avocado, shredded cheese, salsa, sour cream, fresh cilantro
Instructions
-
Preheat and prep your pan: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil. This helps everything roast evenly without sticking.
-
Slice and season: Thinly slice the chicken, bell peppers, and onion. In a large mixing bowl, toss everything with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Squeeze in the fresh lime juice and mix until every piece is well coated in the seasoning blend.
-
Roast to perfection: Spread the mixture evenly across your prepared baking sheet. Try to keep it in a single layer for the best caramelization and texture. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping once halfway through. You’ll know it’s ready when the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are tender with slightly crisp edges.
-
Serve hot: Immediately transfer your roasted fajita filling to warm tortillas. Serve with your favorite toppings and a squeeze of fresh lime.
Notes
- This dish is perfect for meal prepping and can be served with a variety of toppings.
- Adjust the seasoning to your taste if you prefer spicier or milder fajitas.
