Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas
Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas are an easy, quick dinner with so much flavor that requires minimal cleanup. Delicious served with rice or in tortillas!Easy Homemade FajitasSheet Pan Chicken Fajitas are such an easy way to make fajitas. You dont have to stand by the stove and babysit the chicken and waiting for everything to cook up. You just pop it all onto a sheet pan and let the oven do the work. The veggies come out soft and tender and the chicken comes out tender and well seasoned! Serve with your favorite toppings!Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat to serve with Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas? I show it served here on top of Spanish Rice or my favorite 3-Ingredient Mexican Rice with a little drizzle of warmed up queso. Almost like an Arroz Con Pollo. But you can obviously serve these Chicken Fajitas in tortillas. I like tossing them on a salad too!Additionally, I think spanish rice or cilantro lime rice or even plain rice would all work. Homemade or store bought rice like Knorr or Zatarains would be good options. Can I make this on the stovetop instead? Yes. If youd prefer, I already have this Chicken Fajitas recipe that is ready to go just for the stove. Can I make Crock Pot Chicken Fajitas instead? You sure can. Id just use my Crock Pot Chicken Fajitas recipe that Ive already tried, tested, and shared before. What are some toppings I can use? Some of my favorite toppings are sour cream, shredded cheese, avocado, cilantro, lime, diced tomatoes, pico de Gallo and salsa. When serving, I like to put a few options in separate bowls so everyone can grab whatever toppings they enjoy for their own fajitas. Can I make Beef Fajitas instead? Yes, but I already have a separate recipe for that. Just use thisBeef Fajitas recipeinstead. How do I keep the chicken and vegetables from steaming instead of roasting? Spread everything in a single layer on a large sheet pan and avoid overcrowding so the ingredients can roast and develop color. How to store leftovers? Store leftover sheet pan chicken fajitas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through. Leftovers can also be frozen for up to 3 months and thawed overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. Ingredients Needed: (See Recipe Card Below For The Full Recipe)boneless, skinless chicken thighs Sliced chicken breasts can be used. Chicken breast shouldnt take quite as long to cook since it is a white meat (not sure how long though to be honest). I do think chicken thighs work beautifully here because they are less likely to dry out like white meat chicken does. They are also a cheaper cut of meat.red, green and yellow bell peppers I like to use one of each for color but you can use what you prefer. I know some people find green peppers too strong of a flavor for their tastes and prefer very ripe red peppers, that is fine here if that is what you refer. red or yellow onion both work great here.cumin, chili powder and garlic powder if you prefer, you can just grab a packet of fajita seasoning.fresh squeezed lime juice trust me when I tell you, you must use freshly squeezed juice. The stuff in the bottle just doesnt taste the same. To me its just straight aside without the great lime taste.How To Make Sheet Pan Chicken FajitasPreheat the oven to 400F.
