5 15 Published May 27, 2022, Updated Aug 21, 2024 I already have a sheet pan shrimp fajitas recipe, but I wanted to create a chicken version because I know not everyone is a huge fan a shrimp like I am. This recipe is super simple to whip up and perfect for those busy weeknights. Just chop, toss, bake and serve… easy peasy!
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
All you need is one large bowl and one baking sheet. Yay for minimal dishes and easy clean up! It comes together in about 30 minutes including prep time! These fajitas are packed full of flavor and the perfect thing to make whenever you’re craving Mexican.
How to Make Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas
Start by preheating your oven to 425°F. Add bell peppers, onion and chicken into a bowl. Toss with oil, garlic and spices. Spread onto a large baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, tossing at the 10-minute mark. You can bump the heat to broil for the last 2-3 minutes to get a little char on everything if desired. I did 18 minutes total – baked for 15 minutes and then 3 minutes on a high broil (500°F). Top chicken mixture with fresh cilantro, drizzle on lime juice and toss to combine. Serve chicken and veggies in warm tortillas with toppings of choice. I recommend guacamole, salsa, cheese and hot sauce.
How to Serve Chicken Fajitas
When serving these chicken fajitas I usually have a few topping options on hand including fresh cilantro, jalapeños, lime wedges, sour cream or Greek yogurt, salsa, hot sauce and guacamole or fresh avocado. You don’t need all of these. Pick your favorite toppings and use those! These chicken fajitas are a meal on their own, but it’s always nice to have a few sides and fun drinks… especially if you’re hosting. Here are some options:
Sides: easy black bean dip, guacamole (served with chips), avocado salad, Mexican street corn salad, cottage cheese queso, cilantro rice, Spanish rice and/or refried beans. You could even add the refried beans and rice to your fajitas, if you’d like! Drinks: skinny paloma or skinny margarita
Storing and Reheating
If you have leftovers, simply store the chicken and veggies in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. To reheat, I would heat everything on the stove or pop it back in the oven for a few minutes until warm and then make your fajitas.
