I think I found my new favorite sheet pan recipe.

You know, one that’s easy to prep, cooks quickly, and is sure to wow your taste buds. That kind of recipe. These easy chicken fajitas fit the bill and are now on a monthly rotation in my house. 

How can you not love a sheet pan dinner? Everything is made on one pan, which means less clean up and more time spent outside of the kitchen. 

You can chop the veggies and chicken in advance and throw everything together once it’s time to cook dinner. These easy chicken fajitas really are that simple! And full of deliciousness, too. The peppers, onions, and chicken are coated with zesty seasonings that aren’t lacking in flavor. Mmm mmm good!

And I love how versatile these baked chicken fajitas are…load ’em into a tortilla, spoon onto some greens, or make it into a taco salad. The possibilities are endless!

Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas

Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas Ingredients:

  • Red, yellow, and green bell peppers
  • Red onion
  • Chicken breasts
  • Olive oil
  • Seasonings (chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper)
  • Lime
  • Cilantro
  • Tortillas for serving, if desired

How to Make Oven Baked Chicken Fajitas:

  • In a large bowl, combine the chopped veggies, chicken, and olive oil. Stir to combine.
  • In a small bowl, mix the seasonings and then sprinkle over the veggies and chicken. Toss thoroughly to combine, ensuring everything is coated in the seasoning mixture.
  • Spread the veggies and chicken evenly onto a large baking pan and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and has reached an internal temperature of 165°F.

My Favorite Chicken Fajitas Sides:

I like to serve these homemade chicken fajitas with a side of chips and homemade salsa; easy Mexican rice; or guacamole and sour cream.

How long do chicken fajitas last?

This fajita recipe will last in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Fajita Toppings to Try:

  • Cilantro
  • Shredded cheese
  • Salsa
  • Sour cream
  • Guacamole

Can I freeze Easy Chicken Fajitas?

You sure can! Simply let the chicken and veggies cool to room temperature and then store in a freezer-safe container or ziploc bag in the freezer for up to three months.

Tips for the Best Chicken Fajitas:

  • Be sure to slice the vegetables and chicken into the same size pieces. Otherwise, they might cook unevenly and turn out too dry/undercooked when the timer goes off.
  • Be sure to cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Drizzle some fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro over the chicken and veggies before serving for extra flavor.
