Easy Chicken Fajitas (Sheet Pan Recipe) (2024)

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!
