Easy Chicken Fajitas (Sheet Pan Recipe)

These easy chicken fajitas are a simple family meal, perfect for weeknights, and they can be made all on one sheet pan. 😎👌🏻

I cheat a little bit on this recipe. I am well aware that *true* fajitas are made on the stove top. But I like this sheet pan version better.

Why cook chicken fajitas on a sheet pan in the oven? Because it is mostly hands-off, y’all. And with two small kids, hands off recipes are like gold to me!

How to Make Easy Chicken Fajitas in the Oven

All I do is slice up two bell peppers (any color) and an onion. I prefer sweet yellow onions, but any type will work.

Then I slice up my raw chicken breasts into thin slices. I would estimate about 1/3 inch width.

Then I put everything on a sheet pan that I line with parchment paper. Alternatively, you could use aluminum foil or just give a baking sheet a good coating of cooking spray. Then I drizzle on a little oil – I like to use avocado oil here. But use whatever type of oil you like.

Then I sprinkle with a little homemade seasoning blend (deets in the recipe card below). Alternatively, you could use one of those packets of fajita or taco seasoning, if you wish.

Then I toss everything together to make sure all the chicken and veggies get coated in the seasoning. Tongs are extremely helpful for keeping your hands clean.

Then I bake for about twenty minutes in an oven that is pre-heated to 400 degrees. I do give everything a toss half-way through cooking to make sure everything cooks evenly.

And this is what it looks like when it comes out. 😍🤩

Also, about the time I toss everything, I put in our tortilla shells to heat up. I just wrap them in foil and place them in the oven.

And then once they are done, we top with cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice. Just serve them with all the toppings: guacamole, salsa, shredded cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, etc.

This is such a delicious dinner, and I hope you enjoy it as much as we have!

What Sides to Serve with Easy Chicken Fajitas

• What sides go with chicken fajitas? The chicken fajitas are honestly great all by themselves!💁🏼‍♀️ But if you are looking for some side dishes to pair them with, these are fantastic suggestions. Recipe links included!😎
• Tortilla chips and easy homemade salsa – we totally use jarred salsa all the time. But if you want to take things up a notch, this salsa is super easy to make, and it tastes so awesome.
• Guacamole – again, store bought it totally fine, but if you need a great guac recipe, I’ve got your covered. 😉🙌🏻
• Cilantro lime rice – one of our favorite side items, and you can make it on the stovetop OR in your Instant Pot. Also, you can make it with either white or brown rice.
• Quinoa black bean salad – I can make a meal out of this one all on its own! But it makes a fantastic side dish too.
• Cowboy caviar – great as a topping or with tortilla chips.
• Creamy jalapeño – tastes just like the one made famous by Chuy’s. Great as a topping or on tortilla chips as a dip
• If you had more of a bean dish in mind Instant Pot pinto beans would be great with this. So would Instant Pot black beans.

So that gives you a whole bunch of side items you can serve with these easy chicken fajitas.
