Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

• Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts: I usually use about 3-4 chicken breasts for generous portions; adjust as needed.
• Bell Peppers: Red, green, yellow—use whatever you have; their sweetness will shine through
• Onion: A large onion adds depth; I recommend using yellow onions for their balanced sweetness.
• Olive Oil: Drizzle generously for flavor and moisture; helps everything crisp beautifully.
• Taco Seasoning: Use store-bought or homemade; it’s the secret to maximum flavor without effort.
• Lime Juice: Fresh lime juice brightens up everything; don’t skip this step
• Cilantro (optional): Fresh cilantro adds a burst of freshness right at the end; garnish generously if you love it.

Let’s Make It Together

Strongly encourage your inner chef as we dive into making these scrumptious sheet pan chicken fajitas

Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup later.

Prepare Your Chicken and Veggies: Slice the boneless chicken breasts into thin strips. Chop bell peppers and onion into bite-sized pieces that will roast evenly.

Toss It All Together: In a large bowl, combine sliced chicken with bell peppers and onion. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle taco seasoning over everything. Toss until well coated.

Spread on Baking Sheet: Arrange the chicken and veggies in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet. This guarantees even cooking—no one wants soggy veggies

Bake Until Perfectly Cooked: Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and veggies are tender. The aroma will be divine

Add Fresh Lime Juice: Once out of the oven, squeeze fresh lime juice over everything while it’s still hot. This little touch elevates all those flavors

Your kitchen will smell heavenly by now! Serve warm in tortillas with additional toppings like sour cream or guacamole if desired.

Now you’ve got an effortless yet impressive dish that’s sure to be a family favorite! Enjoy your colorful creation loaded with flavors that dance on your palate. These sheet pan chicken fajitas are not just food—they’re an experience

Perfecting the Cooking Process

Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Slice chicken and veggies uniformly for even cooking. Spread them on the sheet pan and roast for about 20-25 minutes for juicy perfection.

Add Your Touch

Feel free to swap in other proteins like shrimp or tofu! Toss in additional spices like smoked paprika or fresh herbs to elevate the dish’s flavor profile.

Storing & Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through, ensuring they stay crispy.
