From the Cook
1/2
Easy Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2
Line an extra-large baking sheet with parchment paper.
3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, coriander, garlic powder and dried oregano.
4
Remove the seeds from the bell peppers and slice into strips 1/2 inch thick. Slice the onion into 1/4 inch-thick crescents. Transfer the peppers and onion to a large mixing bowl.
5
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the spiced oil over the vegetables. Sprinkle with the salt and black pepper and toss to coat.
6
Arrange the peppers and onions in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast the vegetables on middle rack of oven for 10 minutes. While the vegetables roast, prepare the chicken.
7
Cut the chicken into strips roughly 3/4 inch wide. Transfer to the large mixing bowl used for the vegetables.
8
Season the chicken with the salt and black pepper. Drizzle the remaining spiced oil over the chicken and toss until it is evenly coated.
9
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Arrange the sliced chicken on the baking sheet. The chicken may cover some of the vegetables.
10
Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue baking until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred, 17-20 minutes.
11
Check to see that fajitas are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
12
Squeeze the juice from half a lime over the chicken. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Serve fajitas with corn tortillas, salsa, sour cream, avocado, and shredded cheese, if desired.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Dry Your Chicken Thighs First 🍗Pat chicken thighs completely dry with paper towels before seasoning to ensure better browning and crispier edges on the sheet pan.
- Separate Cooking Times for Even Results ⏱️Add chicken to the pan 10-15 minutes before vegetables so the meat cooks through while peppers and onions stay crisp-tender and don't release excess moisture.
- Toast Your Spices First 🌶️Bloom the cumin, coriander, chili powder, and oregano in the olive oil for 30 seconds before coating the chicken to deepen their flavors exponentially.
- Squeeze Lime Juice at the End 🍋Add fresh lime juice only after roasting is complete to brighten flavors without cooking off the citrus oils and aromatic compounds.
- Build Your Toppings Station 🥑Pre-portion and chill your avocado, sour cream, cilantro, and cheese before cooking so guests can assemble warm fajitas immediately without waiting for cold toppings to soften.
