Ingredients

For Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas:

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, sliced into thin strips
  • 3 bell peppers sliced into strips
  • 1 red onion sliced into strips
  • 1/4 cup cilantro minced
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon. smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 Tablespoon olive or avocado oil

To Serve

  • flour or corn tortillas (gluten-free, as needed!)
  • guacamole
  • salsa

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Make Seasoning Mix. In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, garlic and onion powder, smoked paprika, and salt. 
  • Combine Fajitas Mixture. In a large bowl (or right on the baking sheet if you want to save a dish), combine bell peppers and onion. Add chicken and cilantro. Sprinkle with spice mixture, and drizzle with lime juice and oil. Toss with tongs or your hand to combine well.
  • Roast. Spread fajitas mixture out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake at 425 degrees F. for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and peppers and onions are starting to char. (If you want, you can put the pan under the broiler for 1-2 minutes at the end to get more charring.)
  • Serve & Store. Serve the fajitas in tortillas with guacamole and salsa, or spoon onto burrito bowls, taco salads, etc. Leftover fajitas can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge 3-4 days. 

Notes

  • PRO TIP: CUT EVERYTHING THE SAME THICKNESS. One big tip to help your sheet pan chicken fajitas cook evenly is to cut things the same thickness. I like 1/4" thick strips of peppers and onions and 1/2" thick strips of chicken. It'll help things cook at the same rate.
