Top this with freshly chopped cilantro, a fresh squeeze of lime juice, and serve it with my Creamy Cilantro Lime Sauce and you have a party in a tortilla in no time! Be sure to add this recipe to your meal prep list this week with my Chicken Fajita Salad Meal Prep.

WHY SHEET PAN RECIPES ARE THE BEST

• Easy to clean up – simply use parchment paper or aluminum foil that can easily be removed and discarded. Note: parchment paper is not safe at 425 degrees F or above. Do not broil anything with parchment paper on the sheet pan! Ask me how I know… 😉 WHOOPS!
• Everything comes together and cooks on one pan, requiring minimal effort.
• They are not limited to dinners! You can make all sorts of desserts and breakfasts on them – such as my Easy Sheet Pan Breakfast Potatoes.
• They are great for meal prep, as you can roast meats and vegetables together or separately. Roast as little or as much as you need to prep!
• Endless options as far as what you can combine together to “fix it and forget it.”

INGREDIENTS NEEDED FOR THIS RECIPE

• Chicken breasts
• Spices – chili powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, cumin, garlic powder
• Olive oil
• Veggies – bell peppers (any color), garlic, and onion
• Fresh cilantro (for garnishment)
• Lime wedges
• Flour tortillas (or corn if preferred)

HOW TO MAKE THESE SIMPLE SHEET PAN CHICKEN FAJITAS

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Or spray with nonstick cooking spray, if preferred.
2. Start by slicing the red onion and the bell peppers into 1/4-inch slices. If you like them to have a little extra crunch, slice them thicker.
3. Toss the peppers, onions, and sliced chicken with olive oil and seasonings – either in a large mixing bowl or on the prepared sheet pan itself.
4. Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring/tossing halfway, ensuring the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees F on a meat thermometer.

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
• Combine the ingredients for the seasoning into a small mixing bowl and the olive oil and minced garlic into a separate small bowl/ramekin.
• Layer the chicken, peppers and onion strips onto the baking sheet making sure to create a single, evenly spaced layer.
