Ingredients

Chicken & Vegetables

  • 1 ½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
  • 2 bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 large onion, sliced

Seasonings & Oil

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Finishing

  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • Flour or corn tortillas, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) to get it ready for roasting the fajitas.
  2. Arrange ingredients on sheet pan: Place the sliced chicken breasts, bell peppers, and onions evenly across a large sheet pan.
  3. Season and oil: Drizzle olive oil over the ingredients and sprinkle with chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together to coat evenly.
  4. Spread into even layer: Spread the coated chicken and vegetables into a single even layer on the pan for consistent cooking.
  5. Bake: Roast in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until chicken is fully cooked and vegetables are tender.
  6. Add finishing touches: Squeeze the fresh lime juice over the cooked fajitas and garnish with chopped cilantro for a fresh burst of flavor.
  7. Serve: Serve the chicken fajitas warm on flour or corn tortillas along with your favorite toppings like sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or shredded cheese.

Notes

  • Serve with sour cream, guacamole, salsa, shredded cheese, or sliced avocado for extra flavor and texture.
  • Cut the chicken into evenly sized strips to ensure everything cooks at the same rate.
  • Use corn tortillas to keep the dish gluten-free.
  • For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños before baking.
