Make Chicken Fajitas on a Sheet Pan!

This is the way I make chicken fajitas when I don’t want to deal with a bunch of dishes. Everything cooks together on one sheet pan, which means less mess and no babysitting at the stove. I just slice up the chicken and veggies, which takes a whopping 10 minutes, toss it all with seasoning, and let the oven do the rest.

It’s a pretty regular dinner at my house simple, filling, and easy to pull together on a weeknight. We usually eat it with tortillas, but sometimes I’ll just throw it over rice or greens depending on what we have around. And if it ends up being a winner dinner, check out my sheet pan steak fajitas next time!

Happy Cooking!

Sheet Pan Chicken Ingredients

Chicken fajita seasoning blend: I use a blend of chili powder, cumin, paprika, coriander, onion powder, salt, and black pepper or you can follow my homemade taco Seasoning. Double or triple this recipe and store the homemade fajita blend in a small mason jar to whip up chicken fajitas quickly the next time you need a fast meal.
Chicken strips: Use skinless, boneless chicken breast and cut it into long strips. It helps to cut the chicken against the grain so they don’t shred when cooked in the pan with the other vegetables.
Onions and peppers: I like to use a mixture of bell peppers to add color to the finished dish. You can use red onions or white onions. Cut the veggies into long strips so they are easy to put in your tortilla with the finished dish.
Oil: I use olive oil but you can use any oil.

Change up the protein: True, it won’t be chicken fajitas, but you can apply the same concept and make shrimp fajitas or steak fajitas. You can even make vegan fajitas by using tofu or tempeh.
Bump up the veggies: Add sliced zucchini, yellow squash, or cherry tomatoes to the sheet pan for an extra serving of vegetables.
Toppings: A simple lime wedge, avocado slice, and fresh cilantro is always a classic choice. But you can go crazy with toppings. Top with sour cream, cotija cheese, salsa, guacamole, corn salsa, and even fresh jalapeno slices for a nice kick of flavor.
Skip the tortilla: Make a lettuce wrap instead and use butter, iceberg, or romaine lettuce to hold the fajitas together, or make a chicken fajita bowl instead!

How to Make Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas

Spice blend in a bowl. — **Step 1:** Add all of the fajita seasoning spices to a small bowl.

After mixing spice blend. — **Step 2:** Mix well.

Sliced chicken, peppers, onions, and garlic on a baking sheet (separated into sections). — **Step 3:** Place the chicken, peppers, onions, and garlic on a sheet pan. Drizzle with oil.

Seasoning sprinkled over chicken and veggies. — **Step 4:** Sprinkle fajita seasoning evenly over the chicken and vegetables.

Chicken after tossing with seasoning, before cooking. — **Step 5:** Toss everything together to coat evenly and spread in a single layer.

After cooking recipe on a sheet pan. — **Step 6:** Bake until the chicken is cooked thoroughly and the veggies are tender, tossing once halfway through cooking time.

Recipe Tips

Line the baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy clean-up. I used a non-stick pan that is easy to clean up, but usually, I make it even faster by lining the baking sheet. The high cook temp can caramelize some of the veggies on the pan, making scrubbing them out a pain.
Spread the chicken and vegetables into one even layer on the baking sheet. This will ensure even cooking.
Slice the chicken and veggies into similar sizes. They will cook more evenly and be easier to serve in the tortillas. Using long thin shapes is an easy way to scoop onto tortillas.
Check that your spices aren’t stale. If you are making my fajita seasoning, check your spices for freshness by rubbing a little between your fingers, and it should release an aroma. If they don’t, time to buy some fresh spices!
Easily warm tortillas. Wrap your tortillas tightly in foil and pop them in the hot oven next to the fajitas during the last five minutes of cook time to warm them up quickly.
