Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas

These Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas are the only way I'll ever make fajitas from now on! The chicken is incredibly moist and the veggies are tender and flavorful. The whole pan takes only 30 minutes and you can even double it for left-overs!

The great thing about these chicken fajitas is that you can use this for so many different meals. You can use it for tacos, meal prepping, or chop it up smaller for nachos and quesadillas or even just alone with a salad on the side! This really is such a great recipe to have on hand.

Ingredients for sheet pan chicken fajitas:

(See below in the recipe card for exact amounts)

• Chicken (of course)
• olive oil
• lemon or lime juice
• chili powder
• garlic powder
• onion powder
• salt
• cumin
• bell peppers
• onion
• cilantro is optional

This recipe has two main parts, the chicken and the veggies. I like to season the chicken first so it can have a few minutes to marinade and soak in all those yummy seasonings while I get the veggies ready!

Set the seasoned chicken aside and then you can slice your onion and bell peppers. I used red, yellow, and orange peppers because it's what I happened to have in the fridge and I like the pretty colors. You can use any combination of bell pepper that you like best. You just need 2 small ones. I place the peppers and onions in a bag with salt and olive oil and shake it to coat them.

After coating the vegetables, you can add them to a sheet pan sprayed with non-stick spray. I like to cook these for 10 minutes before adding the chicken. This keeps the chicken from drying out while giving the vegetables time to soften. After the 10 minutes, you can pull the pan out and add the chicken and cook for 20 minutes.
