SHEET PAN CHICKEN FAJITAS RECIPE

We do Taco Tuesday every week and these chicken fajitas are a flavorful twist on basic tacos. With just enough seasonings and bright lime juice, these are a healthy meal with lots of flavor and vegetables!

You can use skinless chicken breasts or chicken thighs and the homemade fajita seasoning is so simple.

HOW TO MAKE SHEET PAN CHICKEN FAJITAS

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a very large rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment, or spray with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, add the chicken, bell peppers, and onion. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, seasonings, and garlic. Pour over chicken mixture and toss to coat. Note: You can also just mix everything on the pan to make it truly a one-pan meal.
3. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until chicken is done and has reached 165 degrees F. Remove from oven and garnish with fresh cilantro. Add more salt and lime juice to taste. Serve with sour cream, pico de gallo and guacamole in warm flour or corn tortillas.

WARMING TORTILLAS:

You can wrap the tortillas in foil and throw it on the baking sheet for the last 5 minutes of cooking to easily warm them.

HOW TO CHAR TORTILLAS

An easy way to char tortillas is to light a gas burner and hold a tortilla over it with tongs. Do this for about 15-30 seconds per side. This gives them a smoky flavor.
