These Easy Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas are a fast, flavorful one-pan meal featuring seasoned chicken, bell peppers, and onions roasted to perfection. Ready in just 30 minutes, it’s the perfect weeknight dinner that’s healthy, customizable, and clean-up friendly!


Ingredients

  1. 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
  2. 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, green), sliced into strips
  3. 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  4. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  5. 2 teaspoons chili powder
  6. 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  7. 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  8. ½ teaspoon paprika
  9. ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  10. ½ teaspoon salt
  11. ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  12. Juice of 1 lime
  13. Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  14. 8 small flour or corn tortillas
  15. Optional toppings: sour cream, guacamole, salsa, shredded cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Place sliced chicken, bell peppers, and onions on a large sheet pan.
  • In a small bowl, whisk olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Drizzle over chicken and veggies, toss to coat evenly.
  • Spread mixture in a single layer. Bake for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until chicken is cooked and vegetables are tender.
  • Squeeze fresh lime juice over the cooked fajita mix and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
  • Warm tortillas and serve chicken and vegetables with desired toppings.

Notes

  • Swap chicken for shrimp or sliced steak for variety.
  • Make it vegetarian with portobello mushrooms or tofu.
  • Add cayenne or jalapeños for more heat.
  • Serve over lettuce or cauliflower rice for a low-carb version.
  • Prepare chicken and vegetables ahead of time to speed up dinner prep.
