Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas
Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas are a fast, flavorful dinner with minimal fuss and maximum flavor. Tender bell peppers and onions roasted with seasoned chicken on a single sheet pan. No grilling and no stovetop juggling, just a spread of Tex-Mex goodness that’s ready in under 30 minutes.
Equipment
- tin foil
- small bowl
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breasts
- 1 bell peppers red, yellow or orange
- 1 onion
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 2 tsp paprika
- 2 tsp oregano
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 t salt
- ½ cup water
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with tin foil.
- Using a sharp knife or a pair of kitchen shears, (I like these) cut 1lb chicken into small pieces approx 2"-3" in size. Slice the onion and the peppers into thin strips. Add everything to a large bowl.
- In a separate small bowl, combine 1 tbsp chili powder, 2 tsp paprika, 2 tsp oregano, 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp onion powder, and ½ tsp garlic powder. Add ½ water and whisk until well combined.
- Pour the seasonings into the large bowl with the chicken and veggies and stir until everything is evenly coated.
- Drizzle 2T of olive oil on the pan and transfer the contents of the bowl. Arrange the chicken and veggies in a single layer so everything cooks evenly.
- Bake for about 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway through. Option: If you want extra char or caramelization, switch to broil for 2–3 minutes at the end
- Scoop into tortillas and add with you favorite taco toppings.
