Quick and Easy
This meal is the definition of quick and easy! I love a meal that you can walk away and have a meal ready in less than 30 minutes. Sheet pan meals are so perfect. They taste great but save you so much time. Once you chop all your ingredients, you simple mix it altogether in a bowl with the seasoning and some olive oil. Spread the seasoned onions, bell pepper, and chicken on a baking sheet and cook! It's that simple and tastes amazing.
How to make Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas
Making Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas is easy!
First, you are going to make up the delicious homemade fajita seasoning. The seasoning is garlic powder, oregano, cumin, paprika, and salt. This seasoning is so good because it's not too over powering. It allows you to still enjoy the taste of the chicken and veggies. It also has a small amount of salt. I feel like most pre-made fajita seasonings are much too salty.
Next, you are going to chop the veggies. Cut the bell peppers into ½ inch slices. I love to use different color bell peppers. It makes the meal look pretty and I love the taste of red, yellow, and orange peppers.
Then cut the onion like you would cut an apple. You want 6-8 wedges. Don't separate the onion wedges.
Cutting the veggies this way will help give you tender, yet crisp, vegetables. One of my least favorite things about Fajitas is soggy vegetables. These sheet pan chicken fajitas will leave you with crisp, yet tender, veggies. Yum!
Next cut the chicken breast into ½ inch slices. Try hard to keep the slices around the same width. This will help them cook evenly. If your slices are too thick, the cook time will increase and the bell peppers, and onions will over cook.
Mix all the chopped vegetables and sliced chicken in a large bowl with olive oil and the prepared seasoning. Make sure everything is evenly coated.
Evenly spread the veggie and chicken mixture on a baking sheet.
Cook your sheet pan meal for 20 minutes at 425 degrees, or until chicken is cooked through.
Serve immediately on warmed tortillas.
