One Pan/Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas

3. Season the Chicken

• Combine chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, cayenne (if using), salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
• Sprinkle the spice mix over the chicken.
• Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the lime juice.
• Toss well until every piece is coated evenly.

4. Prepare the Vegetables

• Slice the bell peppers and onions into thin, uniform strips.
• In a separate bowl, toss them with the remaining 1–2 tablespoons olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.

5. Arrange on the Sheet Pan

• Spread the chicken and vegetables on a large sheet pan in a single layer.
• Make sure the chicken is not overlapping too much—this allows it to roast evenly and get slightly crispy edges.
• Tip: You can line your pan with parchment paper or foil for easier cleanup.

6. Roast in the Oven

• Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven.
• Roast for 20–25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F / 74°C) and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

7. Optional Broil for Extra Color

• For a little extra char, turn the oven to broil for 2–3 minutes at the end.
• Keep a close eye to avoid burning.

8. Serve Immediately

• Warm your tortillas in the oven or on a skillet.
• Serve the chicken and vegetables directly from the pan.
• Add your favorite toppings like sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or shredded cheese.
• Squeeze extra lime juice on top for a bright, fresh finish.

Tips for Perfect Sheet Pan Fajitas

1. Uniform Slicing: Slice chicken and veggies the same thickness for even cooking.
2. Don’t Overcrowd: Give ingredients room to roast rather than steam.
3. Spice Variations: Add smoked chili or chipotle powder for a smokier flavor.
4. Meal Prep Friendly: Make extra and store in airtight containers for up to 4 days.
