A quick and easy sheet pan chicken fajitas recipe featuring colorful bell peppers, perfect for a flavorful weeknight dinner with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp kosher salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Chopped cilantro (optional, for garnish)
  • About 8 small flour or corn tortillas, warmed

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Thinly slice chicken breasts into strips about 1/2 inch thick. Slice bell peppers and yellow onion into similar-sized strips.
  3. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Stir well to make a seasoning blend.
  4. Add chicken strips, bell peppers, and onions to the bowl. Toss thoroughly to coat evenly with the seasoning and oil.
  5. Spread the chicken and veggies in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring or flipping halfway through (around 12 minutes), until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and peppers are tender but vibrant.
  7. Remove from oven and squeeze fresh lime juice over the chicken and peppers. Sprinkle chopped cilantro if desired.
  8. Serve with warmed tortillas and your favorite toppings such as sour cream, avocado slices, or shredded cheese.

Notes

Slice chicken and vegetables evenly for uniform cooking. Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming. Flip or stir halfway through roasting for even browning. Use corn tortillas for gluten-free option. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days; reheat in skillet rather than microwave to preserve texture.
