    These sheet pan chicken fajitas are easy, fast, and delicious. Everything for the recipe is cooked on just one sheet and the whole thing only takes 20 minutes from start to finish! It's a healthy, flavor-packed, and satisfying recipe that is ideal for meal prep or a quick family dinner.

    THE BEST SHEET PAN CHICKEN FAJITAS

    On the days when you need something fast and flavorful to serve to your family, you have to whip up this sheet pan chicken fajitas recipe.

    It takes just minutes to prepare but makes enough to serve at least 5 people – and it tastes pretty darn fantastic too.  

    The sheet pan chicken is juicy, well-seasoned, and has a little kick without being too spicy. And cooking it together on one sheet pan with the peppers and onions creates a flavor-filled meal. 

    Oh, and since these fajitas come together on the same pan, there is minimal clean-up - another bonus to making this recipe. And while everything is cooking, you can make this Instant Pot Spanish Rice in 15 minutes for the perfect side.

    Plus, it is made with simple ingredients and some pantry staples, so you probably have almost everything you need on hand to make them. 

    And best of all, you can use this recipe to make these chicken fajita crunchwraps!

    INGREDIENTS FOR CHICKEN FAJITAS

    So, all you need for this recipe is some chicken, fajitas vegetables, and a few spices and seasonings.

    Here's everything you'll need:

    • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    • 2 tablespoon olive oil
    • 2 teaspoon chili powder
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • ½ teaspoon onion powder
    • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
    • ½ teaspoon black pepper
    • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
    • ¼ teaspoon oregano
    • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
    • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
    • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
    • 1 large red onion, sliced
    • Lime juice
    • 5 Flour tortillas

    Now, if you don't have all of these ingredients on hand, I definitely recommend picking them up. 

    I use most of them for my blackened shrimp, blackened chicken, and spicy southwest salad. So you're sure to get a lot of use out of everything on the list!

    And you can also use this chicken fajita seasoning to put on shrimp, steak, or any other veggies that you want!

    VEGETABLES FOR FAJITAS

    Oh, and speaking of veggies, you can switch up this recipe with your choice of vegetables. I used a mix of bell peppers and onions here for a classic fajitas experience, but you can add pretty much anything you like. 

    Here are some great options to add to this recipe:

    • Broccoli
    • Cauliflower
    • Mushrooms
    • Jalapenos 
    • Zucchini
    • Corn

    When choosing your vegetables, keep in mind that heartier vegetables may take longer to cook than everything else. So, you might want to parboil them ahead of time or cut them into smaller pieces so they cook at the same pace.

    So feel free to change it up each time and find your perfect mix of fajita vegetables!

    HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN FAJITAS

    So, as I mentioned earlier, this recipe is super simple to make. In fact, it's so simple that the whole recipe can be broken down into just two steps.

    And again, it only takes about 5 minutes to prepare all the ingredients and pop them in the oven, which gives you plenty of time to make any side dishes you want, or just kick back and relax while your dinner is cooking.

    So, enough talking, let's get cooking!

    STEP 1: PREP

    First, preheat your oven to 400 °F (200 °C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.

    Next, cut your chicken breasts into strips. And you can cut them into any sized strips you want.

    In a large bowl, combine your oil, chili powder, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, cumin, oregano, and mix until everything is well incorporated.

    Then, you can add your chicken strips to the bowl and mix them in the seasonings, making sure to get each piece of chicken thoroughly coated. 

    Lastly, add in your sliced bell peppers and onion, mixing them in the spices until well coated. 

    STEP 2: COOKING YOUR FAJITAS

    Once your chicken and veggies are well covered in the spice mixture, transfer everything to your prepared sheet pan.

    Bake your fajitas in the oven for 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are tender and have browned.

    Then you can take your sheet pan out of the oven and drizzle everything with some lime juice. 

    For serving, warm your tortillas, fill them with some chicken, peppers, and onions, and add any other toppings of your choice! Or, you can eat your chicken fajitas in a bowl with some rice and toppings.

    Whichever way you decide to eat it, it will be delicious!

    HOW TO STORE YOUR FAJITAS

    Another great thing about this recipe is that it's easy to store and reheat any leftovers. And it makes 5 servings of fajitas, giving you a great choice for meal prep or a convenient meal for extra busy days.

    To store your leftovers, first, let your chicken fajitas and vegetables cool. Then, transfer everything to one airtight container or a few serving-sized containers.

    Your chicken fajitas will stay good in the refrigerator for up to 5 days! 

    And then, to reheat, put everything in a skillet for a few minutes over medium heat until it reaches your desired temperature. 

    WRAPPING IT ALL UP

    If you've been looking for a healthy and delicious dinner or meal prep idea that's ready in under 30 minutes, this sheet pan chicken fajitas recipe is the one to make. 

    I find myself making it all the time since it's just so quick, convenient, and delicious!

    Plus, my family loves it too, so it is one of our favorite weeknight meals.
