Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas
This sheet pan chicken fajitas is my top 5 easiest meals to make and takes only 25 minutes from start to finish. So much flavor on one single pan!
Ingredients
- 4 thin chicken breasts, sliced in super thin strips
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced in strips
- 1 orange pepper, sliced in strips
- 1 small red onion, cut in half then sliced
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 large tomato, chopped
- fresh chopped cilantro
- lime wedges
- 8-inch low-carb tortillas or use your favorite fajita tortillas
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450℉
- Combine all of the spices, salt and pepper in small bowl.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of oil on large sheet pan and place in preheated oven while you prepare your chicken and veggies.
- Add chicken, peppers and onions to a large mixing bowl, sprinkle on the spices and 2 tablespoons of oil and mix until well coated.
- Remove hot pan from the oven and spread out chicken and peppers evenly on sheet pan. Place the pan back in the oven and cook for 10 minutes.
- Wrap tortillas tightly in foil and place in the oven after the first 5 minutes of the cooking time.
- While the meat and veggies cook, prepare your fajita toppings.
- After the 10 minutes, remove the pan from the oven and give it a good toss. Set the oven rack a few inches from the top and turn the oven on the high broiler setting. Place sheet pan back in the oven on the top rack and broil for 4-5 minutes or until the tops are slightly charred in spots. NOTE: Make sure the tortillas are not on the top rack with the sheet pan.
- Remove from the oven and scatter with fresh cilantro, the chopped tomato, and throw on some lime wedges. Serve immediately with warm tortillas and toppings.
