A sizzling restaurant favorite, but made at home and on one easy baking sheet! Our oven-baked Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas are everything you love from this classic but made easily on one, easy-to-clean-up pan!

Is there anything better than a dinner that is fresh, easy, and has minimal clean-up? Welcome our Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas! My girls absolutely love this meal because of all of the colors and creating their own plates. I love it because it's so incredibly healthy, veggie-packed, clean, and easy to make! Turns out, that even as the weather starts to warm up, oven chicken fajitas would be the perfect summer dinner.

One bowl. One Pan. But the options to serve with this super flavorful chicken and the tender sweet bell peppers are endless. We made these oven-baked fajitas on repeat and were still able to have a different dinner each time!

Ingredients Needed

chicken, spices, cilantro, sliced bell peppers, onion, jalapeno, garlic, oil, lime on a counter.
  • Chicken - We love using chicken breasts for this recipe, but thighs would also be delicious. Or even some steak!
  • Bell Peppers - Use your favorite, but we love to use one of each for the full rainbow!
  • Red Onion - More color for the rainbow dinner, but white onion would also work if that's all you have.
  • Jalapeno - Optional, but we love the heat it brings.
  • Spices - Onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Olive Oil and Lime Juice - For the marinade.
  • Fresh Cilantro - To add some bright freshness, but of course, skip it if cilantro is not your thing.

Easy to Make

Create Marinade

Just one bowl, a bunch of spices, and a little oil and lime juice, that's it.

Be sure to make it in a big bowl though, because then you can just add it all to that one bowl. Minimal dishes, remember?

Add Chicken and Veggies

First the chicken, so it gets most of the marinade, then the onion, garlic, and jalapeno, and then finally the peppers.

Add to Pan

Add it all to a pan, and bake!

Tips

The Longer it Marinates, the More Flavor

In general, this is a good rule to follow. And the longer the chicken marinates for this recipe is for the better, too. We suggest, for anything over 2 hrs, separate the peppers and onions from the chicken and just let the chicken marinate.

Prepare in Advance

We love to prepare these oven-baked chicken fajitas in advance! You can prepare the marinade and chicken and let them marinate together in the bowl or a plastic bag for up to 24 hrs. Prep the veggies in advance too, but keep them separate from the chicken, and then mix it all together and let sit while your oven comes up to temp.

Serve With

Fresh Corn Tortillas From Scratch and Pico de Gallo, are our favorites, but you could also serve it all with rice, cotija cheese, quinoa, flour tortillas, and/or some guacamole.

Equipment

  • baking sheet

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs chicken cut into thin strips
  • 1 red bell pepper julienned
  • 1 green bell pepper julienned
  • 1 orange bell pepper julienned
  • 1 yellow bell pepper julienned
  • 1 jalapeno sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic whole, peeled
  • 1/2 large red onion or 1 small red onion, cubed
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Prep all of the veggies and set aside.
  • Add all spices to a large bowl and mix well. Add oil and lime juice and mix well into a paste.
  • Add chicken to the bowl and mix well. Add garlic, onion, and jalapeno to the bowl and mix again. Add peppers and mix well. Cover and let marinate for at least 10 minutes and up to 2 hrs. See recipe notes if marinating longer.
  • Add chicken and veggies to the foil lined baking sheet and spread into an even layer.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches at least 165°.
  • Serve with tortillas, over rice, and with your favorite condiments like pico de gallo, guacamole, and cheese.

Notes

Prepare in Advance 
You can prepare the meat with the marinade 10 min to 24 hours in advance. For 10 min to 2 hrs, prepare it all together, meat and peppers and onion.  If marinating overnight, prep marinade and chicken and let marinate together without any veggies.  Add the veggies and mix well and let marinate for at least 10 minutes before baking.  
Substitutions 
Chicken - Use breasts, thighs, or substitute with steak. 
Peppers - Use an assortment of your favorite bell peppers. 
Onion - Red is our favorite for this, but white is also delicious.
