Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
Vegetables
- 2 bell peppers (red, yellow, or green), sliced into thin strips
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons fajita seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure a hot cooking environment that will roast the chicken and vegetables evenly.
- Prepare Ingredients: Slice the chicken breasts, bell peppers, and onion into thin, uniform strips to promote even cooking and facilitate easy fajita assembly.
- Season: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced chicken, bell peppers, and onions. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle the fajita seasoning, and add salt and pepper. Toss everything thoroughly until all pieces are well coated with the seasoning and oil.
- Arrange on Sheet Pan: Spread the mixture in an even layer on a large sheet pan, ensuring the ingredients are not overcrowded to allow proper roasting and browning.
- Roast: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender with slight caramelization.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with warmed tortillas, guacamole, salsa, sour cream, or your favorite fajita toppings.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken with lime juice and cilantro before roasting.
- Feel free to add sliced jalapeños for a spicy kick.
- Use a rimmed sheet pan to prevent juices from spilling over during roasting.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To make it gluten-free, ensure your fajita seasoning and tortillas are certified gluten-free.
