SHEET PAN CHICKEN FAJITAS RECIPE
We do Taco Tuesday every week and these chicken fajitas are a flavorful twist on basic tacos.
With just enough seasonings and bright lime juice, these are a healthy meal with lots of flavor and vegetables!
You can use skinless chicken breasts or chicken thighs and the homemade fajita seasoning is so simple.
HOW TO MAKE SHEET PAN CHICKEN FAJITAS
-
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a very large rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment, or spray with cooking spray.
-
In a large bowl, add the chicken, bell peppers, and onion. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, seasonings, and garlic. Pour over chicken mixture and toss to coat. Note: You can also just mix everything on the pan to make it truly a one-pan meal.
-
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until chicken is done and has reached 165 degrees F. Remove from oven and garnish with fresh cilantro.
Add more salt and lime juice to taste. Serve with sour cream, pico de gallo and guacamole in warm flour or corn tortillas.

WARMING TORTILLAS:
You can wrap the tortillas in foil and throw it on the baking sheet for the last 5 minutes of cooking to easily warm them.
HOW TO CHAR TORTILLAS
An easy way to char tortillas is to light a gas burner and hold a tortilla over it with tongs. Do this for about 15-30 seconds per side. This gives them a smoky flavor.

Notes
This was outstanding! It tasted like a restaurant meal. I followed the recipe exactly and served with pico de gallo, guacamole and shredded cheese.
Wow thank you!
These were the easiest & tastiest fajita’s I’ve ever made! This will be my new go-to recipe. Healthy & budget friendly too! Thank you 😊
AWesome!
I know when I try one of your recipes it will be a winner, and these sheet pan fajitas were no exception. I used poblano, Anaheim, and jalapeño peppers from the garden and it was fantastic! Easy, one pan (not counting all the mess from making pico de Gallo and guacamole, too), and delicious. Thank you for consistently sharing great recipes!
Thank you!
Great family recipe! We had a family over for dinner and all the kids loved it. We also included spanish rice as a side and it was delightful. LOVE how non-greasy it is doing it in the oven — I used an avocado oil spray in my spritzer. Will definitely be returning to this recipe! 🙂
Thank you!
You know, I never thought about doing them on a sheet pan.
Sometimes I get lazy or don’t have peppers on hand; I will buy a couple frozen bags of the pepper and onions and keep in the freezer just to have handy when needed for things like this.
Have a great weekend and wishing you and everyone a Very Happy and Blessed Easter.
Happy Easter to you too!
