I like to put my fajitas in a flour tortilla, but you can use corn or omit the tortilla altogether if you are trying to eat keto/low carb! Then I like to top it with cheese, sour cream, salsa and lettuce. You can use the store-bought version if you are looking for a short cut!Īdd the chicken to the pan (making sure to separate the pieces of chicken so they don’t stick together) and bake for another 15-20 minutes or until the veggies are roasted and the fajitas are golden brown!Īfter it comes out of the oven squeeze some lime juice over top (add a touch of freshly chopped cilantro) and it’s ready to be devoured- and trust me it will! While the veggies are roasting, mix the chicken and seasonings (dry rub). ( Tip: Warming the pan before adding the veggies gives you less of a risk that the veggies stick and burn on the pan.) Spread them out evenly across the pan and roast them for 8 minutes. Place your bell peppers and onions on the sheet pan. With peppers and onions, cut them in long strips. Make a clean cut rather than a sawing motion. For cutting raw chicken, u se a sharp knife that is not serrated. While doing all your prep work, preheat your oven to 400 degrees and place your baking sheet in the oven so it is nice and hot! Begin by chopping the bell peppers, onions and chicken.

You can marinate the chicken overnight in a liquid marinade but I prefer to use a dry rub because I usually forget to marinate my chicken in advance, plus dry rubs work better than liquid marinades! We want the moisture from the chicken to evaporate quickly so it will sear well and create a delicious caramelized crust. And you have fewer dishes to do after dinner!! You don’t have to babysit it at the stove. It is pretty healthy with all the veggies and protein. Not going to lie – They take a little extra prep work (meaning you’ve gotta slice up peppers, onions, and chicken) but other than that, they’re a breeze!Ī few things I love about these sheet pan fajitas is everything is cooked on the same sheet pan so all the flavors blend together. I think it’s safe to say they’re a favorite. We’ve made these fajitas at least 7 times over the past few months. Meanwhile, you can whip up some of our favorite spanish rice and a bowl of homemade guacamole! These sheet pan fajitas are just that! They only take a few minutes to prep and the rest is done in the oven. These easy, flavorful, sheet pan chicken fajitas are sure to become a favorite! They’re oven-roasted to perfection!
