Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas
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!
