Recipe Summary

These easy, flavorful, sheet pan chicken fajitas are sure to become a favorite! They're oven-roasted to perfection!

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp. vegetable, grapeseed or avocado oil, divided**
  • 3 bell peppers, seeds removed, ¼-inch thick slices
  • 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 - 1½ lb chicken breasts, ¼-inch thick slices*
  • 2 tsp. chili powder
  • 1 tsp. cumin
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. kosher sea salt
  • ½ tsp. ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp. paprika
  • ½ tsp. coriander
  • ⅛ tsp. chili flakes or cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 lime

Cooking Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place a standard size rimmed baking sheet in the oven while it heats so that it's nice and hot.
  2. In large bowl toss 1 tablespoon oil with the bell peppers and onions. Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and spread the peppers and onions evenly across the sheet. Place in the oven and bake for 8 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, in the same bowl, combine the remaining oil along with the chicken, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, coriander and chili flakes. Remove the sheet from the oven, drain off any excess liquid and add the chicken, making sure to separate the pieces of chicken from each other (that way they don't bake together. Return to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the vegetables are roasted and the fajitas are golden brown. Remove, squeeze the lime juice over top and serve with desired toppings.

Notes:

  • Do NOT use olive oil!! We are roasting at a very high temperature. Olive oil should not be used at 400 degrees. Try using vegetable or avocado oil.
  • If you use a wrap of any kind, you would need to add those points in
  • Try putting it on top of riced cauliflower for a fajita bowl to keep the points low
