Description

A quick and easy sheet pan chicken fajitas recipe featuring tender chicken strips, colorful bell peppers, and onions, all seasoned and roasted to perfection. Perfect for a flavorful weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium red onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 small flour tortillas
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, salsa, chopped cilantro, lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.
  2. In a large bowl, combine sliced chicken, bell peppers, and onion. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat.
  3. Sprinkle chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper over the mixture. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
  4. Spread the chicken and vegetables evenly on the prepared sheet pan.
  5. Roast in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  6. Serve the chicken and vegetables in warm flour tortillas with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, salsa, cilantro, and lime wedges.

Notes

  • Slice all ingredients uniformly for even cooking and optimal texture.
  • Don’t overcrowd your pan—use two sheets if necessary to avoid steaming instead of roasting.
  • Want more spice? Add a pinch of cayenne or sliced jalapeños.
  • Prep the ingredients ahead of time: Slice and marinate the chicken and veggies up to 24 hours in advance for even deeper flavor.
  • Chicken thighs can be used instead of breasts; they add extra juiciness, just make sure to slice them thin for quick, even cooking.
  • To keep the chicken from drying out, don’t overbake—check for doneness at 18 minutes and remove as soon as the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Preheat the baking sheet in the oven for extra char and caramelization.
  • Use a mix of colorful bell peppers for an eye-catching presentation and sweeter flavor profile.
  • Warm tortillas in the oven wrapped in foil during the last 5 minutes of baking.
