The best thing about food blogging for me has always been the feedback. Every time I hear from someone that they tried one of my recipes and that it turned out well for them, it makes my day. And completes that process of creation for me. Last year I made some incredible Spicy Fajita Steak Quesadillas and even though that post didn’t exactly catch fire, I’ve gotten some amazing compliments from people around the world who have tried it. Especially that Spicy Fajita seasoning. I’ve gotten a lot of emails from readers who absolutely loved that seasoning and you guys have no idea how deliriously happy that makes me!
Oven-baked chicken fajitas
As it happens, it’s one of our favorites too and Mr K makes a request for it quite regularly. While it was delicious with steak, it works just as well with chicken too! So when I want to make a quick and easy dinner that’s loaded with juicy flavor, my fajita seasoning for oven-baked chicken fajitas (sheet pan chicken fajitas) is one of my go-to recipes. It’s truly one of our absolute favorite easy dinner recipes.
How easy is this recipe?
You make the spice mix. Marinate the chicken. Place the marinated chicken pieces on a sheet pan with all of the marinade. Then roast, and throw in the peppers and onions towards the end of roasting. Done. The result? Chicken fajitas at their most flavorful! This may seem like a lot of marinade for chicken, but it works. It keeps the chicken moist, tender and flavorful. Which also means you can shred the chicken easily (and those pieces will then soak up the sauce, yum!) and use it in quesadillas, tostadas, burritos, tacos, whatever! OR have the whole piece with Spanish rice OR with some roasted veggies.
How to serve these chicken fajitas
We always make a feast out of these. Here, I made some creamy, refreshing Avocado salsa, and some spicy, tangy Aji sauce. It was a brilliant combination. And it goes really well with the fruity and spicy chicken fajitas. To top it off, I even made some Spanish rice and tostadas. You know, just in case the feast wasn’t big enough. There were plenty of leftovers for next day of course! However you decide to have this, one thing is guaranteed. Incredible flavor. A little spicy, a little sweet, a little fruity, and lots and lots of flavor. You can adjust the level of heat in the recipe by decreasing the amount of cayenne pepper you use as well.
