    I don’t know about y’all but sometimes I’m just not in the mood to spend hours in the kitchen preparing dinner. This is when sheet pan meals are the perfect solution! What’s easier that cooking all your ingredients together on one pan in the oven?

    These Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas are definitely a quick and easy recipe that you should always have in your back pocket. The whole family is sure to love the Mexican flavors that come through in these fajitas.

    Although fajitas are typically cooked in a hot cast iron skillet to get that nice sizzle and char on the meat, these are not lacking in flavor. These tasty fajitas are the perfect weeknight dinner, or for anytime you need a quick dinner solution.

    Ingredients
      

    • 2 teaspoon chili powder
    • 1 ½ teaspoon ground cumin
    • 1 teaspoon ground paprika
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
    • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts sliced into about ½-inch thick strips (make them as even as possible)
    • 1 red bell pepper cored and sliced into strips
    • 1 yellow bell pepper cored and sliced into strips
    • 1 medium yellow onion cut in half then sliced into thin strips
    • 2 cloves garlic minced
    • 3 tablespoon olive oil
    • 2 tablespoon fresh lime juice
    • For serving
    • 8 taco size flour tortillas
    • Sour cream, avocado slices or guacamole, Pico de Gallo, shredded cheese optional

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray a rimmed baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
    • In a small mixing bowl whisk together chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, 1 ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Add chicken strips and 1 tablespoon of oil and toss to combine. Set aside.
    • Spread bell peppers and yellow onion onto baking sheet.
    • Top with seasoned chicken strips then sprinkle minced garlic over top.
    • Drizzle remaining olive oil over top then toss everything together evenly coat. Spread into an even layer working to keep chicken from overlapping.
    • Roast in preheated oven until veggies are tender and chicken has cooked through, about 18 - 25 minutes (check a few of the larger pieces of chicken to make sure they are fully cooked in the center).
    • Either wrap tortillas tightly in foil and warm in oven during last 5 minutes of fajita filling cooking or heat them in a hot dry skillet on top of the stove for a minute or two per side.
    • Drizzle lime juice evenly over top of the chicken fajita filling, sprinkle with more salt to taste and toss to coat.
    • Serve filling warm in warm tortillas with toppings of choice.

    Notes

    I also added shrimp to my fajitas. If you do wish to add shrimp, first season them then add shrimp to one end of the baking sheet about 8 minutes before you remove the chicken from the oven. The shrimp cook much faster than the chicken.
