Make flavorful chicken fajitas entirely on one sheet pan for quick preparation and minimal cleanup. This recipe uses chicken strips, colorful peppers, and onions seasoned with a simple spice blend.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
  • 2 large bell peppers (one red, one green), sliced
  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: Tortillas, sour cream, salsa, lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced chicken, peppers, and onion.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper to create the seasoning blend.
  4. Pour the olive oil over the chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle the seasoning blend over the mixture. Toss everything together until the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated.
  5. Spread the seasoned chicken and vegetables in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two pans if necessary.
  6. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  7. If you prefer more char, switch the oven to broil for the last 1 to 2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  8. Serve immediately with warm tortillas and your preferred toppings.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, squeeze the juice of half a lime over the mixture before baking.
  • If you want softer vegetables, slice them slightly thicker.
  • You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts if you prefer darker meat.
