Baked Chicken Fajitas Recipe
Easy Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas features juicy chicken breasts nestled among ribbons of sweet bell peppers and red onion, it captures all the color and vibrancy of classic Tex-Mex without cluttering your stovetop.
Our homemade seasoning blend brings warmth, spice and depth of flavor, while a splash of lemon juice adds a bit of bite.
Whether you’re hosting an informal taco night or just need something hearty and hands-off after a long day, this one-pan meal is designed to be pulled from the oven and hit the table fast. Wrapped in warm tortillas with cilantro, sour cream, or shredded cheese, it hits all the right flavor notes without a hefty restaurant bill.
If you want that caramelization that makes chicken fajitas super irresistible, turn the oven to broil for the last few minutes of cooking to char the chicken and veggies slightly before taking them out of the oven.
How do I store leftovers? Let everything cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave until warmed through.
Can I freeze this dish? Yes, after cooking and cooling, portion into freezer-safe containers. (This set of freezer containers is a crazy bargain.) Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in a skillet or oven.
What vegetables can I substitute? Try mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, green beans, eggplant, or small chunks of potato. Choose vegetables that can roast in about the same time as the sausages.
Can I substitute the chicken? Absolutely, thinly sliced steak, shrimp, or even tofu all work well. Adjust cooking times accordingly.
