Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas

Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas are a snap to make and loaded with fresh veggies, chicken tenders, and flavor! Colorful bell peppers, red onions tossed together in olive oil along with spices. After cooking squeeze some lime juice over them then sprinkle on fresh cilantro for the perfect finish touch. Serve these delicious fajita wraps up soft flour tortillas- or corn if you prefer something lighter – it really doesn’t matter because Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas can do no wrong!

Sheet pan chicken fajitas are so easy to prepare that they’re almost as quick as ordering takeout from your favorite Mexican restaurant but without all of those calories:) I like tenderizing my own boneless skinless breast cutlets myself before

How to Make Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas

Start by slicing your red onions and seeded bell peppers into 1/4 inch slices. Toss the veggies with olive oil, spices from salt to garlic powder! I like doing this in a large bowl but if you don’t feel like using one then just add everything onto the sheet pan and give it some time for each ingredient to soak up that flavor. You can use any dark colored baking tray because these help caramelize those oniony-bell peppy flavors much quicker than light colors do!

Start by cutting all of our ingredients into thin strips – think about ¼ an inch thickness or even less depending on what type of texture you are going for when cooking them together as well as how long they take at heat temperature wise.

I have to admit, sometimes I’m cooking and do not want the mess. So what’s a guy to do? It all starts with two ingredients: non-stick cookware spray, and an aluminum baking sheet.

First step is grab your trusty stainless steel pan! Add about 1/2 cup of water—need more or less depending on how big your recipe batch size is–to cover the bottom (or at least most) of it before you turn up that heat . Next off add in some oil for flavor if you like; olive oil works well here because its got such a neutral taste but vegetable oils work alright too if they’re healthy enough for ya’. Rest assured there are no eggs frying any time soon so don’t

To make things quicker, I use chicken tenders in the recipe which are just chicken breast that have already been sliced into strips. If you want to be more involved with your cooking process and get a little creative then slice up some whole chickens instead of using pre-sliced meat like those found at restaurants or grocery stores.

Roasting chicken and veggies at 425 degrees for 20 minutes is a great way to get the perfect roast vegetables with just enough caramelization. For extra flavor, turn on your oven’s broiler and let those beauties pick up some color! Just run it for 1-2 minutes because overcooked veg can be bad news.
